Oh wow their front page doesn't mention at all that their products run locally and don't require subscriptions.
It mentions push notifications and emails, so I guess they must require an account, or can you configure them to use SMTP directly, as with the Amcrest Pro cameras?
TBH, I've never used any of those features. I just used it locally and plugged it into home assistant.
But I just reinstalled their app and can confirm I can watch the feed and get push notifications without a cloud account. Haven't tried email tho
That sounds worth investigating, thanks! Amcrest needs an account for notifications afaik, but the Pro cameras can work just on a local network.
The app for them is awful. Then they made a new version that is awful in slightly different ways, so I'm interested in new options.
The last time I looked at time I missed something. I want to use my existing chime and have it also use that power supply as a power source. Turns out the battery one does that! I missed that months ago! I was going to get a Ring Pro or whatever to get it to do that! This is so much better! Moving up the todo list now!
