My experience is Doorbird reliably integrates quite well with Crestron via the ControlWorks module in a small system, and also via the AV LinkPro SIP server in a larger scenario.? I have not tried other SIP servers.

?

A couple notes:

1. The Doorbird accessory ringer sucks, so figure out how to do it through your automation system.? AV LinkPro can ring all the touch panels, or you could use a tone generator and run it through sound system.
2. Doorbird does not place an outgoing call, it receives an incoming call.? So the SIP call only works for the first person to answer the notification from Doorbird that the call button has been pressed.? So if someone using the Doorbird app answers first, the touch panels will not be able to communicate.? Touch panels can still see camera and open gate, as can the app user.? AV LinkPro has a bit more flexibility.
3. Camera server does not support many simultaneous streams, so on a large system you might want to mount Doorbird to an NVR and then point the touch panels to the particular NVR channel stream rather than pointing them to the Doorbird.? I leave the Doorbird out of the “cameras” list as it is available on the ‘gate” page.? AV LinkPro also has NVR capability, so it might do the trick, check with them for features – but NVR is an additional option ($).
4. Support from Doorbird, ControlWorks and AV LinkPro are all very responsive, I would rate them as excellent.
5. There are a variety of metal and finishes available.? Holovision also integrates Doorbird into their products, and Jeffo can take care of integrating a phone system or whatever other magic you need.

?

Hope this helps;

Kol

Hi All,

I am considering DoorBird D1101V1 for my home, but the reviews I am finding don't look good.? ?I am curious what experience people have had with these Door Bird units.

Thx
