Why DoorBird?
Looking backwards I think I have done the right thing when I decided for DoorBird D2101V, and here are the key features why:
What is Doorbird D2101V?
DoorBird D2101V is a robust and well made device. The box includes everything you’ll need for successful installation. And here I don’t mean only the flush box, but also AC adapter (which I have not used), and all tools needed to fix the device. One RFID TAG is also included. Based on my PoE switch management info, this intercom is consuming 3W in idle, and 4W when in a call.
How far can a motion sensor detect?
On a top of that, there is motion sensor integrated (advertised as 4D – it is not standard PIR), where you can define the detection distance from 1 to 10 meters (in 1m steps), configure the movement detection (coming, leaving, both), and set delay between consecutive detections.
Is Doorbird free?
DoorBird has done a great job here. Their cloud base service is free, the app is available for iOS and Android, and it simply works. You can select if you want to allow the connection through cloud, or if the device will be permanently in your home network. It also shows an icon about how the connection is currently made and it switches the call automatically to local if you’re in your home network. The notification about the doorbell press is pretty quick and reliable, on both home and the outside net. It is a matter of one button press to activate the video stream and then one more to respond to the call if you want to. Last 20 pictures that are taken by each doorbell press are stored in the cloud and can be viewed in the history with a day and time stamp, so you’ll know and see who has been there recently. The core functionality is similar to what Loxone has in their app, just without the cloud and with the remote connection difficulties described above.
Can you still see the person on a doorbell?
The fact that the DoorBird camera stream will be continuously (or triggered by some event) recorded does not limit any other functionality. You can still respond to doorbell and see the person there while Surveillance station keeps recording. The image resolution is a bit worse than the rest of my dedicated cameras I use, but it is a great to have the intercom view in the system as well.
Does Doorbird work on Loxone?
The fact that DoorBird app works from home same as from the outside world out beats the Loxone integration completely in this case. The only reason where it makes sense to integrate the intercom from DoorBird into Loxone UI is in my opinion on home devices (wall mounted tablets), that are on the LAN all the time.
Can I use Doorbird with Loxone?
The integration of DoorBird D2101V into Lo xone can be done seamlessly. The question here is if this is really necessary. In my experience the usage of DoorBird app is quicker, notifications are more reliable, and especially for mobile phone I do not see a need to use the Loxone app for intercom. The fact that DoorBird app works from home same as from the outside world out beats the Loxone integration completely in this case. The only reason where it makes sense to integrate the intercom from DoorBird into Loxone UI is in my opinion on home devices (wall mounted tablets), that are on the LAN all the time.

After using several Doorbird's all hard wired, I can absolutely attest that what the marketing is vs reality are vastly different.

so i echo most of this. i hardwired it to my normal doorbell to begin with as i don't really use announcements specifically because of the lag.

Your review is a little confusing. You start by describing how terrible the solution is, followed by you being "darn satisfied". I must've missed something.

I don't think that is the issue (at least in my case). I'm using POE with a commercial grade router.

There is a new driver that is in beta now but not sure if it fixes intermittent connectivity issues. Pretty sure it is just enhancements to the doorbird itself.
