Dahua DB11 vs Reolink Video Doorbell WiFi

“8K square feet and you considering Reolink? At the very least, run Ethernet everywhere. Do not do WiFi cameras please. WiFi doorbells are fine as they often are lower resolutions.”

“Hikvision 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.”
