Hello All, I am looking to incorporate indoor cameras. I want to start with 1-2 camera to monitor the new baby nursery and main entrance/living space. I prefer 2-way audio too. I have looked first into direct ST integration. I like Arlo Pro, and I plan on adding those to the outside, but they are c…

@jayelarex Thanks for the link.

only one way audio :frowning: i looked at them before, but that was the drawback

have you used those cameras? if so, do you know if they have 5 ghz connectivity?

I agree on the one-way audio. But the total wire-free capability is king for me. I actually placed one looking at my kids door. I have an early morning snacker on my hands. :smile: And there are no outlets near that door. So this is a great feature.

Unfortunately no. I’ve been looking at them too and someone mentioned the model number differences and when they asked SmartThings customer service they wouldn’t guarantee the “BM” models would work.

Thats the same reason why I really the arlo pro cameras, but they are costly

I believe another reason for Blink is their 2 year battery life on standared use. Arlo eats batteries like a T-rex. I swapped mine out for Blink. And the only true advantage they had on Blink is now gone…their external cammeras. Now Blink has the XT cammeras which will be sold by end of this month. …

Maybe, there is an “R”, as in “BMR” at the end that usually means refurbished. Like I said, I have no experience and would like to know if they work as I’d probably pick up a couple if do.

Do you get two way audio with the Amcrest in Smartthings? @jayelarex Also, do you have it recording somewhere, SD card or NAS?

I believe that only means the unit is refurbished, but it should work/connect with ST as new ones do
