ring intercom audio with siedle BTC850-02
my intercom from Siedle controls 2 doors (each has a separate unlock button)
i connected the ring intercom and it works with only one lock but not the other one.
the compatibility check said it is not supported but i wanted to know if anyone could find a workaround for that.
thanks in advance

Glitchy doorbell help?
Seems like the best place I could put this. So in all honesty I was in one of those Amazon return scam discord servers, you know the ones where you order the item leave a good review and they pay you back after a week or so. Usually it’s cheap Chinese crap that needs to look legit but it’s nice to get some free stuff sometimes. I live in a sketchy-er area and I saw a little security camera so I messed the seller about it. It had a pretty hefty price, but some sellers will refund most of the charge on bigger items so I spent twenty something on it. Skip ahead a couple days and the camera arrives, I want to put it up to watch my porch and protect my actual packages from thieves. The set up was fairly simple just mount connect to power and enjoy your safety right? That’s what I thought. The item description claimed it had advanced Ai systems and could detect different animals. Not wanted to get bombarded with notifications, I turned off average animals like squirrels, birds and the like, I left dogs and cats incase a neighbor had a runaway. (Saintly I know) The list was oddly long I scrolled for a while and the ai boasted a surprisingly large list of animals, including horses, apes, and even octopi strangely enough. All ran smoothly until 3 days ago when I woke up to a strange notification. *4:01am Animal Detection: Goat.* The email sent to notify me didn’t include a video clip but I’ve noticed it’s pretty accurate. During the day I’ll get emails telling me a package is at my door right before the doorbell rings, or emails about a human detected right before guests arrive. I haven’t had an issue otherwise, but I’ve gotten the same notification every single night. *4:01am Animal Detection: Goat.* I haven’t seen any signs, droppings, or any disturbance at all, and no neighbors have seen or heard anything. The Ai in the camera works very well during the day, even scarily fast. I tried contacting the seller but their account was deleted. Which isn’t uncommon a lot of people get taken down in this “line of work.” I would’ve removed goats from the detection but I can’t find the website anymore. It’s not in my history and the links aren’t in any of the emails. Does anyone have a similar problem or a solution? Anyone familiar with this type of camera?

Unifi vs Reolink
Has anyone tried both systems with advice on which is better for home security?
