What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Dahua DB11
Best Praise
+2 ptsâFor cameras; Dahua for their night color and physical viewing angles. Turing Video Edge+ for their facial recognition and LPR software.â
r/homedefense
ViewTop Criticism
+3 ptsâHikvision is the largest security camera manufacturer on the planet, Dahua is 2nd. Both are Chinese and are buddies with the Chinese government. They have poor track records on human rights (eg contributing to Uighur genocide) but they're hard to avoid given their sheer size. Sort of like Nestle is a gross company but hard to avoid. Reolink makes good products. They started out cheap, and the night vision reflected that as night vision is the hardest thing for a security camera to do. Any camera can do daylight photos fine of night photos without movement. I understand Reolink and Ubiquiti for that matter, now use image sensors and optics that are pretty good at filming movement at night. People are big on "smart" features, apps, real time notifications, painless remote viewing, etc. Unfortunately I'm not able to comment on those features as I don't use them - I pipe most of my video through Blue Iris, and have custom scripts for some other the other functionality.â

Best praise vs top criticism for Google Nest Doorbell (wired)
Best Praise
+3 ptsâGoing on 5yrs with google nest, moved and reinstalled in that time. Both homes have covered porches though and we donât get snow.â
r/homedefense
ViewTop Criticism
+8 ptsâLike others have said, get a PoE camera doorbell that records directly to an NVR. Reolink makes one. Doorbird is another. Ubiquiti makes one as well if you're in their ecosystem. Find one you like and use it. This is assuming you either have a Cat5e/Cat6 cable at your doorbell, which is becoming more common with newer homes, at least in the US. If you don't, a WiFi doorbell camera is the next best thing, as long as it's not a camera that can only use cloud storage like Ring, Google/Nest, etc. Most manufacturers that make PoE doorbells also make a WiFi version.â
