I need some advice as we have just moved to a a new (old) home.
I am hoping to setup a doorbell, alarm and camera.
For the doorbell I am thinking the Reolink doorbell as it seems to be getting good reviews. How is the latency on this though? as the biggest issue I have with smart doorbells is how slow it is. wifi vs poe?
This brings me to the next point. Going poe means a nvr I guess. But this seems overkill for a home and the cameras all look gery(sp?). My sister has just bought the blink outdoor and doorbell system off the amazon deal. The cameras look boxy I think but slightly better and smaller (Just seen the packaging).
Only think is I was hoping to somehow have everything integrated on the same system. I've heard of Home Assistant but this seems complex. Would these cameras work on home assistant? what would be a better camera system if I was to go this route?
Next is an alarm! again something thats integrated would be great. Just like a panel to arm and disarm and that can send messages/ alerts.
Does something like exist? What would be best?
