Has anyone had success with a front door video camera and a GOOD connection to Alexa system?

 

I would have thought by now someone would have come up with a conduit between front door cameras and alexa.

 

I have heard the the expensive Ring system works with it ?

 

I have a great front door camera but I wouldn't know where to start to get the feed onto alexa. I wondered if ther was a method of sending the camera feed to a website then bringing up the website of alexa? I am not that clever to do that with out good instructions.

 

Summary Getting front door feed to alexa screen not ring!

Ring is owned by Amazon. Integration is particularly good if you have an Echo Show.

Ring! I have tons on my house and Alexa integration is awesome!
Their door cams work exactly the same as their security cameras.

Just don't buy the first generation Ring. The integration is slow. Other than that it works pretty well.

My Echo Show is great for viewing the output from my Ring Doorbell Pro.

Ring is the go to... But it seems very slow using it with an Echo Show. Someone rings the bell it takes a good few seconds to show the video feed. By the time the video feed comes up, I can be halfway to do the door. I'm going to look in to a DIY solution to keep the video feed local, and ditch the Show.

Ok version 1 version 2 and a version 3" !

 

but you know what I am quite happy with my door bell for I think it was $60 on alixpress works fine and adding the totally adequate app to a spare android phone to leave in the bedroom works for me.

 

By the way if anyone wants one mightyape have refurbished vers 2 for 199
