I currently have a ring doorbell that I pay a yearly fee for but I want to get away from Amazon and a subscription fee. I would prefer if it used the Wi-Fi and it was able to connect with my house doorbell. Edit: I’d also like to add that I would like it to have the ability to stream and record video.

    Reolink has a wifi video doorbell that works great, it has an integration with Home Assistant but also with Frigate. I use Frigate personally, since it’s better at person detection and I can record directly to my server. If you don’t use Frigate, you can record to an SD card that you slot into the back of the doorbell.

      Yeah, this is the answer. I don’t have a Reolink doorbell, but I have their PoE cameras with Frigate and HA, and they work perfectly.

      I would also note they have a PoE version as well. It’s quite handy to minimise congestion on your WiFi, and not have to worry about batteries.

      Both work well with various home automation systems.
