Video recording / Third party systems / Integration
We offer a comprehensive open API for any kind of third-party integration (e.g. NAS, NVR, VMS, Home Automation, Smart Home etc.). You can find further information online: https://www.doorbird.com/api
In addition, we already offer instructions for many interesting integrations on our DoorBird connect pages: https://www.doorbird.com/connect

All DoorBird IP video door stations have a built-in SIP module for integrations into a wide variety of SIP and home automation systems.
You can configure the settings in the DoorBird App (DoorBird App → Settings → Administration → Login → SIP settings).
As SIP is generally not standardized and the integrated SIP module is our own development, not all SIP telephones are compatible.
Although we constantly develop the module further and the list of compatible devices is growing, we cannot offer assistance for every individual integration.
You can find all compatible devices and documentation for setting them up in the following overview: https://www.doorbird.com/sip
KNX is the most popular smart home bus in Central Europe, which is mostly used for home automation (mainly lighting, window blinds or heating control).
Due to the technology involved, only control/switching commands can be transmitted via KNX (e.g. "lights on everywhere", "lights off in the kitchen", "blinds on position 20", "heating in bedroom on position 4"). Large amounts of data such as music, audio and video cannot be transmitted via KNX. This is done using IP and network technology, therefore most manufacturers offer KNX panels (screens) with connections for both, KNX and a network connection (Ethernet).
The DoorBird IP video door stations are compatible with almost all KNX panels that support "SIP Audio" or "SIP Audio+Video". Usually the resident can see the visitor, speak and also open the door via the panel.
On our Connect page we offer instructions for common KNX panels and gateways, e.g. BAB, thinknx, BesKNX, PEAKnx TCI, onna, iddero and mediola: https://www.doorbird.com/connect
The integration of Amazon Alexa/Apple HomeKit/Google Home with DoorBird IP video door stations was planned for a long time.
For data privacy reasons, we have stopped working on the integration with Amazon Alexa/Apple HomeKit/Google Home until further notice.
We will regularly check for Amazon Alexa/HomeKit/Google Home in the future whether there are good, secure and, above all, data privacy-compliant options for integrations available with already existing DoorBird Connect partners.
Currently, we cannot make any recommendations, but refer to the large number of existing integrations with other systems on our DoorBird Connect page: https://www.doorbird.com/connect
