Comment on Doorbell Camera / NVR (post Unifi)

  it is on a separate miniPC, but that is also a proxmox box that does a couple of of other things. I did have it on a Pi4 previously but I outgrew that. might need to go back to having HA as a dedicated appliance, not running Nodered and other things on it, keep all of that on the other servers.

  my whole setup needs a rebuild soon anyway.

    I guess I should’ve said “on its own dedicated hardware” too but, still.

    I think I remember reading somewhere about a firmware update that was pretty recent (8/2025) specifically for latency issues, you might want to check that out if you’ve had it awhile.

      yes I was on the latest firmware that only came out in the last month and even when on the same subnet it was 1-2 seconds of delay, dropouts, mic issues. I had to have the thing replaced (under warranty) at one point because the two way audio just refused to work at all.

      swapping it for the Unifi doorbell lite as soon as I get a 45 degree mount for it.

      I’ve tested it and it’s miles better, the video quality is fine too, I though it would be noticeably worse but it’s perfectly decent for a doorbell, I’ve got other cameras on the front of the house anyway.

        Sounds like you’ve gone down all the paths I can help with lol. Mine streams just fine using Frigate in HAOS and using RTSP. The two way audio doesn’t work quite yet but I also haven’t tried too hard to diagnose since the audio otherwise functions, so I’m assuming it’s just a configuration issue.

        I also 3D printed a mount I found on Thingiverse since the ones it came with didn’t angle it far enough for my needs.
