Is there no way to check the doorbell video locally?

An Amazon employee misconfigures something and now your doorbell doesn't work

Obligatory

Oh wow their front page doesn't mention at all that their products run locally and don't require subscriptions.

It mentions push notifications and emails, so I guess they must require an account, or can you configure them to use SMTP directly, as with the Amcrest Pro cameras?

TBH, I've never used any of those features. I just used it locally and plugged it into home assistant.

But I just reinstalled their app and can confirm I can watch the feed and get push notifications without a cloud account. Haven't tried email tho

[–] bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

That sounds worth investigating, thanks! Amcrest needs an account for notifications afaik, but the Pro cameras can work just on a local network.

The app for them is awful. Then they made a new version that is awful in slightly different ways, so I'm interested in new options.
