Doorbell Info

  • Last edited: 13th, May 2026

The Supplied Doorbell is the entry-level line of PoE-powered video doorbell’s designed for the Protect ecosystem. It is engineered to provide a compact, wired, cloud-free door monitoring solution with core smart camera functionality at a lower cost than higher-end doorbells.

 

Core design and purpose

The Doorbell is built as a minimalist, function-first doorbell camera. Unlike premium models that include touchscreen displays, it focuses on reliability, simplicity, and integration into existing networks. It is intended for the user who runs Protect on Router/Firewall supplied in the bundle.

Its design is compact (approximately 137 × 40 × 26.4 mm) with a vertical camera orientation optimised for capturing full-body visitors and parcels at a doorstep rather than wide environmental scenes.

 

Imaging and video capabilities

At its core is a 5MP (1/2.7" sensor) delivering 1920 × 2560 resolution (3:4 aspect ratio), which prioritises vertical coverage over horizontal panorama.

Imaging and video capabilities

At its core is a 5MP (1/2.7" sensor) delivering 1920 × 2560 resolution (3:4 aspect ratio), which prioritises vertical coverage over horizontal panorama.

Key imaging characteristics:

  • Higher than HD Quality 5MP resolution (up to 24 FPS)
  • Wide field of view: ~95.8° horizontal, 175.9° diagonal
  • IR night vision up to ~5 meters (16 ft)
  • Automatic IR-cut filter for day/night switching
  •  

The vertical field of view is deliberately tuned to capture:

  • Faces at close range (visitor identification)
  • Full body framing (important for door approaches)
  • Packages left at door level
  •  

Image processing features include exposure control, noise reduction (2D/3D DNR), and masking tools, which are configurable via Protect.

 

Smart detection and software features

The device integrates directly with Protect AI detection, supporting:

  • Person detection
  • Vehicle detection
  • Animal detection
  •  

These detections are processed locally on the gateways, meaning no cloud AI subscription is required.

The doorbell also supports:

  • Motion-triggered recordings
  • Event-based notifications
  • Two-way audio communication via built-in mic and speaker
  •  

Audio and interaction

The Doorbell includes:

  • Two-way audio (speaker + microphone)
  • Ring button with tactile feedback
  • Push notifications via the Protect app
  •  

This allows real-time interaction with visitors, similar to mainstream smart doorbells, but fully integrated into the Protect local ecosystem.

 

Connectivity and power

A defining feature is its strict PoE-only design:

  • Power over Ethernet (37–57V DC)
  • 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface
  • Max power draw: ~8W
  •  

There is no Wi-Fi support, which makes it highly stable but requires Ethernet cabling to the door location.

 

Build quality and environmental resistance

The enclosure is designed for outdoor deployment:

  • IPX5 weather resistance
  • Operating temperature: -30°C to 50°C
  • Materials: polycarbonate + metal frame
  •  

This makes it suitable for exposed entrances in most climates, including rain and cold environments.

 

Installation and mounting

The device supports flexible mounting options:

  • Flat wall mount (standard)
  • Included 20° wedge mount for angled viewing
  • Compatibility with gang boxes and junction boxes
  •  

This flexibility helps optimise viewing angles depending on doorway layout.

 

Positioning in the lineup of available doorbells

Within the doorbell ecosystem, this doorbell sits as:

  • Entry-level model
  • Simplified feature set (no touchscreen, no Wi-Fi)
  • Focus on core surveillance + Protect integration
  •  

It is generally chosen when:

  • You already use the Protect ecosystem
  • You want PoE reliability
  • You prefer local recording over cloud subscriptions
  • You want a lower-cost doorbell option

 

Strengths and Limitations

Practical strengths

  • Very stable wired PoE operation
  • Strong integration
  • Good vertical coverage for doorways
  • No subscription requirements
  • Solid night vision for short-range identification

 

Typical limitations

  • Requires Ethernet cable to door (no wireless option)
  • Relies on Protect ecosystem for full functionality
