Choosing Smart Cameras & Doorbells

Start with how the device will be powered and connected, because that decides where it can go and what it works with.

Video doorbells

The Dahua DB41AB and DB41AW are Wi-Fi doorbells with 2K imaging through an ultra-wide fisheye lens, passive IR motion detection and support for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6 networks. The VDKP01-BG kit includes the DB41AB doorbell and a DS1AG chime, and the VDKP01-WG the DB41AW and a DS1AG. The Pyronix DOORBELL/CAM2 has a 3MP QHD camera, two-way audio, night vision and an onboard siren that can be activated manually, and works with the HomeControl2.0 app. The Ajax 66393.125.GR1 DoorBell is IP66, runs on AC/DC power with a built-in backup battery and sounds a chime through Ajax sirens.

PoE door stations

The Hikvision DS-KB8113-IME1(B) is a vandal-resistant station with a 2MP camera and IR supplement, standard PoE, IK09 and IP65 ratings, mechanical doorbell support and Hik-Connect app control. The DS-KV6113-PE1(C) has a 2 MP HD camera with noise suppression and echo cancellation, plus access control functions.

Wi-Fi, battery and floodlight cameras

The Ajax IndoorCam, such as the 138541.303.WH1, is a Wi-Fi camera with a PIR sensor and built-in AI that recognises people, animals and vehicles, with a fallback channel to an Ajax hub if Wi-Fi is lost. The EZVIZ CS-LC3 pairs a 4MP camera with up to 700 lumens of light and 32GB eMMC storage. The Pyronix BATTERY/CAM2 is fully wireless, with magnetic or bracket mounts, an onboard siren and a front white light, and the BATTERYCAM/KIT-SDSOL2 kit includes the BatteryCam2, a USB C SolarPanel2 and a 32GB SD card.

AI network cameras

TP-Link VIGI InSight cameras such as the S455 5MP turret and the S385 8MP bullet are PoE network cameras with AI human and vehicle classification, two-way audio and MicroSD storage up to 512GB.

Frequently asked questions

Which doorbells here work over Wi-Fi?

The Dahua DB41AB and DB41AW are Wi-Fi video doorbells for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6 networks, and the Ajax 66393.125.GR1 DoorBell has an enhanced Wi-Fi connection at a distance of up to 500 m in line of sight. The Hikvision DS-KB8113-IME1(B) and DS-KV6113-PE1(C) are wired door stations instead, powered over standard PoE.

Does a doorbell come with a chime?

Some do: the Dahua VDKP01-BG and VDKP01-WG kits include a doorbell and a DS1AG chime. The Ajax 66393.125.GR1 DoorBell sounds a chime through Ajax sirens instead, and the Hikvision DS-KB8113-IME1(B) door station supports a mechanical doorbell. Decide whether an existing bell or chime is staying before choosing between a doorbell and a kit.

Can I talk to visitors through the doorbell?

Yes, several doorbells here have two-way audio. The Ajax 66393.125.GR1 DoorBell has clear two-way audio with noise suppression and echo cancellation, the Pyronix DOORBELL/CAM2 has two-way audio through the HomeControl2.0 app, and the Dahua DB41AB sends video and audio to mobile devices so you can communicate with visitors remotely.

Is there a fully wireless camera with solar power?

Yes, the Pyronix BATTERY/CAM2 is fully wireless, with magnetic or bracket mounts and continuous power from the SolarPanel2. The BATTERYCAM/KIT-SDSOL2 kit includes the BatteryCam2, a USB C SolarPanel2 and a 32GB SD card, and uses PIR for human detection so only relevant alerts are received. The BATTERY/CAM2 and the kit are both rated IP65 for outdoor use.

Can these cameras tell people from other movement?

Yes, several use AI detection. The Ajax IndoorCam recognises people, animals and vehicles with a PIR sensor and built-in AI, the EZVIZ CS-LC3 detects human movement, and TP-Link VIGI InSight cameras such as the S355 classify humans and vehicles. The S355 separates that movement from environmental triggers like leaves or shadows.

What happens to the Ajax IndoorCam if Wi-Fi drops?

It stays in touch through its fallback communication channel with an Ajax hub, so the facility never drops out of sight even if Wi-Fi is lost. The IndoorCam, such as the 138540.303.BL1, also has a PIR sensor, built-in AI, two-way audio and a wide-angle HDR camera for indoor views.
