I actually currently use the Reolink doorbell but I am trying to switch away from their products because they have poor customer relations and are problematic in general. I just got a Hikvision DS-HD2 doorbell and with the SD card storage it works great for what I need. I just wished there was a POE version that also supports SMB/FTP recording for continuous recordings. That's very problematic I found for SD cards because all it takes is one hiccup and the only thing gets corrupt.

The brand-specific doorbell apps are still the way to go for the most consistent behavior and stability, especially for the two-way communication aspect and especially if remote access is desired/required.

That said, one of the more Blue Iris friendly doorbell cams is the Reolink. ONVIF/RTSP compatible and can be either wired or wi-fi with one model being PoE capable as well.

No cloud reliance. No subscription. No strings attached. Use it the same way you would use a normal IP camera, including live streaming, recording, alerts and storage..., with the exception of the two-way talk feature. Blue Iris is woefully inadequate in this area.

I am considering buying Blue Iris to add all my different make cameras to one VMS and need to know if I will retain the calling features for this Doorbell when someone presses the button. If not, are there any doorbell cameras that are fully compatible with BI that retain this feature?
