DoorBird

DoorBird

BeoLink Gateway can interact with DoorBird and BirdGuard units to open door locks, turn on the station light, and report motion or doorbell activity. To display DoorBird video on BeoLink Gateway, add the camera on the Interfaces tab and complete the fields described below.

Note: SIP communication with DoorBird units is not supported by this driver.

Connection to DoorBird Unit

BeoLink Gateway can connect and interact with a DoorBird/BirdGuard unit through the DoorBird LAN-2-LAN API connection.

The Connection Settings parameters are:

  • Host IP: IP address of the DoorBird unit. Configure a DHCP reservation or static IP so this address does not change.
  • Login: Username of the DoorBird unit.
  • Password: Password associated with the configured username.
  • Use Digest Authentication: Authenticate through the HTTP challenge instead of sending credentials as query parameters. This is recommended when supported by the installed firmware.

Available Resources

The available resources are:

  • OPEN_DOOR: Opens a door lock or relay. This is a BUTTON resource with a PRESS command.
  • LIGHT_ON: Turns on the DoorBird station light. This is a BUTTON resource with a PRESS command.
  • MOTION_SENSOR: Reports activity detected by the DoorBird motion sensor.
  • DOORBELL: Reports presses of the DoorBird doorbell button.

MOTION_SENSOR and DOORBELL are mapped as GPIO resources on BeoLink Gateway. They have two state values: 0 and 1. The default state is 0 (no motion detected or doorbell pressed). When activity is reported, the state changes to 1 and then back to 0 as a pulse. These resources do not provide commands.

OPEN_DOOR and LIGHT_ON are mapped as BUTTON resources on BeoLink Gateway. Their PRESS command performs the corresponding action: opening the door or turning on the light.

Resource addresses apply only to OPEN_DOOR. Its address selects a specific DoorBird relay, including a relay on a DoorBird I/O Door Controller. An empty OPEN_DOOR address selects physical relay 1. Leave the address empty for all other resource types.

Get Live Image

To display live images from the DoorBird unit, add the camera on the Interfaces tab and configure these fields:

  • Camera access:

    • Base URL : Equal to http://<doorbird-ip>.
    • Username : Same username used on Connection Settings of DoorBird system in Systems Tab.
    • Password : Same password used on Connection Settings of DoorBird system in Systems Tab.

  • Camera resources path/Video & Images:

    • Low resolution MJPEG: Set to /bha-api/video.cgi for the DoorBird MJPEG stream.
    • Low resolution image: Set to /bha-api/image.cgi for DoorBird snapshots.
