Much clearer than Ring or Nest and much easier to get working with Blue Iris
This is the third video doorbell I’ve installed. I started with Ring, switched to Nest, and now have gone with the AD410. Ring and Nest were pretty much equivalent, but I have Google hubs in my house, and Nest works better with those. Installation of all three doorbells was pretty easy. I will say the Amcrest had a simpler chime module than Nest. Nest required some re-routing of wires in the chime fixture, while Amcrest only attached alongside existing wires.However, the AD410 is better than either. At 4MP resolution the image is much clearer. On top of that, the colors and vibrancy is better. I attached two screen caps as examples, one from Nest and one from Amcrest. Both of these are zoom-ins to a tiny portion of the the full capture like you might do to see a license plate number to highlight the difference in image quality. The Nest image is unusable, but with the Amcrest you can clearly read the letters on the stop sign.The final big difference, and the reason I switched to the AD410, is I use Blue Iris camera software with other wired cameras in my house. I was able to figure out how to get a video feed from the Nest into Blue Iris, but it took a lot of finagling. It took a lot of research to figure this out as Google doesn’t tell you how to do it. You have to grant API access to in your Google account, and this doesn’t work with a GSuite GMail account like I have. However, I got it working with a secondary account. Unfortunately, once you get it working it is not great. There’s a delay of something like 10-15 seconds on the feed (I guess since it goes to Google cloud before going to Blue Iris), which makes matching up video feeds from different cameras very annoying. Plus, the feed regularly cuts out (again, I assume something with Google cloud access availability).The AD410 worked just like a wired camera. Amcrest’s site gives clear simple explanations of how to do it, and they worked the first time. There is no delay in the video feed at all. It is definitely a total win over the Nest or Ring cameras.My only complaint might be that the motion detection on the camera is VERY sensitive. This may be due to the better resolution. There is a slider in the app which lets you control the sensitivity, but even with it turned all the way down I get constant motion triggers on cars driving on a cross street that happens to be in the camera’s view. Nest never triggered on this, probably because the street was an indistinct mush as you can see. I tried playing with the camera motion zones which reduced this, but I still get triggers for car headlights at night which light up outside the areas I had masked off. I will continue to fiddle with it. Fortunately, the camera does provide great “human” detection which is really all I need anyway.
