When someone presses the button on the doorbell, yes i receive a notification, but it isnt diferent from the other reolink notifications (or other apps for that matter), just the normal sound for a notification and the popup.
With the RING doorbell if someone presses i actually get a Ringing phone call notification that sets it apart from other notifications.
Do i have to have the Cloud Plan to have a different notification that i can actually diferentiate from the normal ones?
The way the notifications are now, its really easy to miss if someone is at the door pressing the button. It has to be like a phonecall.
If im away from home, with every notification i get (emails/social networks/messages) most likely I wont notice if someone is at the door because it just doesnt really alert in a very obvious way.

@gajotnt_202336444158149 on top of that i really cant understand why they didnt implement the functionality to chime on amazon echo devices although advertising alexa compatibility.. very disapointing.

I agree 100%! I need my phone to ring with the option to jump straight into the video so I can see what is going on.

hello,
i received today and its just so ridiculous!!!! its not a doorbell but just a camera whis a button who ring a chime!!! absolutely not professional from Reolink to sell that SH..
i have a doorbell that cost me 25€ and call me on phone and is totaly integrate into Home Assistant...but its a wifi version so its not working very well...too far from the nearest AP.
It totaly unacceptable to sell a video doorbell that doesnt make a phone call, the ridiculous push message, you wouldnt see it, of course!!! you have not eyes screw on your displayphone all the day...Reply QuoteShare2- Share this Post

@olive_608518832963622 that's the first implementation of Reolink doorbell. SIP calling will come too hopefully.

@joseph-chircop_497308027822318
I hope so. Totday I received my Reolink video doorbell and was also dissapointed. No Phone ring options. -
@info_526910647251162 Yes, this is missing together with the capability of using the existing chime. It should provide a loop for the existing chime to sound.
-
@info_526910647251162 I regularly look for this update but nothing yet. Is there an estimated date for this update?
-
I need it
without a phone call it is simply not usable. when can I expect the update? -
Any response Reolink? Everyone absolutely expects a phone call that is not buried in our camera alerts. Unusable like this

@user_710049033429221_710049033429221 only response from reolink is no response and according to google play user and also facebook posts is they block/ban Facebook users for calling them out on this subject of no call screen.

I've had the doorbell for a few weeks now with the Android app, I would agree with the above comments that currently on my phones there is only one type of push notification whether it's a visitor pushing the doorbell button or clouds passing on another camera, which are mostly ignored anyway. A visitor pushing the doorbell button definitely needs to be a separate notification so the phone can be set to play a different sound so it would get immediate attention, ideally with a jump to the doorbell video.
Thanks! -
welcome to my hell.... i use to have a laview one halo(it was a rebranded db1 etc ) my old door bell use to open the app with a "voip call" ready so i can talk wit the person in front on it use to ring a lot so i cant miss it even with it in my pocket....
another lack feature a ring history register.... if for some kind of reason i miss the call i use to see a full list with date time and a picture saved in the sd of my doorbel so i can see who was the one ringing and when it happend....

@ss4sgoku_239593250332868 I can understand you. I did ask for VOIP callouts and to be fully compliant to Profile T (two way audio). I forward lots of ideas and suggestions. It's their strategy of what to implement and prioritised.
Having a push notification instead you will surely miss it. Hope they will prioritise it.

its something funny that every 5h1ttuber doesnt talk about it.... everyone say its awesome its cool buy it but no one talk about the lack of this features.... ahh dont forget the doorbell over heat so imagine that your house front take the whole sun rise and the temp in the street goes up to the hell.... really funny my old doorbell was always cool.....
