Skybell integration?

Gadget_Freak

Is the Honeywell Skybell accessible thru Security Spy? It integrates with Honeywell's TotalConnect 2.0 service, so it's nice to get notices, but for the most part, I hate home automation cloud anything.

We have previously asked the manufacturer about this, and the answer is that the Skybell is a closed system that does not work with software products such as SecuritySpy, unfortunately.

Hikvision has a few doorbells that work well with SecuritySpy, so you may like to have a look at these instead.

Curious, how many users set up a door cam to send them notices thru Security Spy? Will it send a snap shot?

Ben

I know that at least a few users have set this up. Once a camera is added to SecuritySpy (e.g. the Hikvision doorbell camera), you can configure all of SecuritySpy's normal notifications and recording. This includes email alerts and iOS push notifications.

Ben... Can you comment on which Hikvision doorbell camera model (there are several) people have had success with? Thanks!

Ben

I believe that would be the Hikvision "Wi-Fi Video Doorbell", model number DS-KB6403-WIP. Here's the link to the product description:

Howdy, Stranger!
