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...

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?

My screen looks different. For me the zoom buttons are greyed out and dont work. The camera in question is also not a PTZ camera but just has zoom.

I am aware of using the webUI for each individual camera. However I want a vms application to load up to 4 cameras on the screen so I can line them up next to each other and adjust zoom all in one screen. This is something that can be done in an IPC tester but those are chinsey and not outdoor rated...

I have been looking into BI as an installer's tool that I can use to load up multiple cameras to angle and zoom them. However, I dont see any way to adjust the zoom on a varifocal camera. The PTZ zoom buttons dont do anything. I am using Geovision cameras.
