QUOTE(holynoob @ Jun 26 2024, 01:13 PM) Wifi version will have messy wiring, it's just a matter of how messy you find it acceptable. You will need a 24V / 12V AC relay / transformer, or use a 24V DC adapter, perhaps you can use the cavity in your mailbox to do the wiring if you're in a landed dwelling. For condos perhaps you can place an enclosed shelf underneath or on top of the doorbell to hide the wiring, doubling as shelving. Just be careful to not using wooden shelving to prevent fires. Really would like to go the poe route. called the technician and looking to get an estimate on how much would it cost.This is why I went with the POE version, just a single wire and stable connection. Also a suggestion, here's a rain cover that can be 3D printed. Must have in our thunderstorms (if you're in a landed dwelling) https://community.reolink.com/topic/5016/re...bell-rain-cover For stepping down the voltage, do you think something like this would be okay? this steps it down to 24V DC. LED Driver 1 LED Driver 2 Else, I would likely need to get this Doorbell chime with transformer and use it to power the doorbell. Thanks for the 3D printing link. Can I know if you printed your own or used a service to print it? Thank you. |
