Hi,
Based in UK. For the primary reason of removing the £49.99 yearly Ring subscription, I'm looking at options to do exactly the same so would appreciate your advice.
Current Setup:
Ring Video Doorbell Wired (the smaller all black casing version)
2 x DS-2CD2347G2-LU Fixed Turret Network Cameras connected to a Hikvision DS-7604NI-K1/4P NVR (so 2 free ports)
The Ring doorbell is connected to an Amazon Echo Show 5 and alerts if motion is detected at the door (handy if we're not in close proximity to our mobile phones) as we don't have a doorbell chime.
We are already using the Hik-Connect app. on our phones (both iPhones) so ideally something that works with that (hence thinking Hikvision doorbell). Ideally Wi-Fi but could in theory get an ethernet cable to the doorbell (although would be a bit of effort).
In summary, we would want to receive notifications, answer, communicate through the Hik-Connect app. and ideally still receive a notification on the Echo Show. So potentially alerts on three devices simultaneously. All footage would be recorded to the NVR.
Have been looking at the DS-KV6113-WPE1(C) and DS-KB6403-WIP but not fathomed if these are suitable. Reading robbietobbie's comments, as one of the fixed cameras covers the area of the doorbell I could do the same, i.e. keep the Ring doorbell (for real time notifications and two way conversations) and cancel the subscription, I could retrieve any footage via the NVR but am somewhat reluctant as the footage won't be as clear as it covers a wider area and would unlikely capture faces etc. (unless they looked up at the camera).
Thanks in advance for any help / advice on this.
