FAQ on the Doorbird homepage, fairly centered:
Gira TKS, Siedle, 2N IP Verso, Akuvox... excellent products, but of course not at the Doorbird price.
Our products are cloud-based solutions (cf. NEST, Dropbox, Dropcam etc.). For reasons of reliability and security, our products do not use port forwarding/NAT or DynDNS for remote access via the Internet. Instead, our products establish an encrypted VPN tunnel connection to our cloud server (location: high-security data center in Germany). Our products use the same encryption technologies as financial institutions for online banking (SSL). Remote access via our cloud server is free of charge.
It is technically not possible to operate our products autonomously without the Internet or without our cloud server, since functionalities such as push notifications (special server security certificates required by Apple and Google), remote access, regular free software updates, etc. would not be possible.
The entire solution has been reviewed by the state data protection officer.
If you want to operate without a cloud server, autonomous IP systems such as those from Siedle or Gira are an option, which naturally cannot offer the same range of functions. We ourselves, as a provider of intelligent and convenient smart home solutions, do not offer products without connection to our cloud server. The use of cloud services from other competitors such as Google Drive, ownCloud, Dropbox, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3 etc. is not possible for security reasons.
Which video camera can you recommend to me now?
Gira TKS, Siedle, 2N IP Verso, Akuvox... excellent products, but of course not at the Doorbird price.
