Hello everyone and happy New Year,
I am looking for a video door entry system that communicates via Wi-Fi between units.
A brief explanation: In 2019, we renovated an old building. At that time, we wanted to install a video system and even had one at home, but after a short time, my wife didn’t like it anymore, so it was returned. Unfortunately, the topic then fell into the background and was forgotten. Currently, we have a wireless doorbell system installed, which now, after several coronary artery procedures on my wife’s part, should finally be replaced by a proper solution. We do not have KNX installed in the house; it’s all old conventional wiring. Network cables were installed on every floor, and there is strong, comprehensive Wi-Fi coverage throughout the house.
We want a system that can be expanded. The image of the entrance area should be transmitted both to a display and to the mobile phone, and the door should be able to be opened from both the display and the phone (the door is equipped with an opener and can be controlled via a 2-wire connection). An intercom function should also be included. It would be great if the system could also be used as a kind of internal house communication system. The communication between the individual modules should be done via Wi-Fi, since there is no RJ45 (Ethernet) outlet near the intended display locations. It would also be desirable if the camera data could be saved to a NAS without having to use the vendor’s cloud service.
I hope I have provided enough information to understand what I am looking for!
I have already searched here and read through various threads but have not found the right solution.
I look forward to your suggestions!
Best regards

Hello,
if you still have some old doorbell wires, take a look at the system from Gira.
They also implement camera functionality over a 2-wire bus. It’s unfortunately not cheap, but at least it works reliably here.
Connecting the front door control to the network via Wi-Fi would be a no-go for me.
Best regards,
Andreas
