ESP8266 Community Forum

- Thu May 27, 2021 1:42 am #91484 I have a Godrej video door phone connected with wire. As the distance between the door and the screen is around 100 ft the wire is hanging in between poles. But due to wind and cyclones the condition of the wire is not good. So if I need to take out the wire and connect the two end wireless what can be the best way to do. i.e. ESP8266 or pi or any thing else.

The wired connection has four wires: two + - of 5V and one is video and one is audio both way (duplex).
I have wifi at room and a wifi extender at the door end. So if I use two esp at both end and connect the esp ports with video and audio wires will that be fine. Also, will there be different programming for video streaming and audio duplex?

Please suggest for any other options and also if any ready made device can be used.

But if you're looking for a ready made device, a Ring or similar wireless doorbell solution might suit you.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.
