Advice for Security Camera / Doorbell

Hello guys,

Currently I own a Google Nest camera and doorbells, but due to the recent price change announcement for the storage of footage I am looking into alternatives.

What would you guys recommend as alternatives?

My requirements are:

  • Wifi-based camera’s (or at least wireless), since I don’t have ethernet where the camera’s are.
  • Complete local solution. I should be able to operate them without depending on some cloud services and/or recurring payment.
  • Obviously: good Homey integration

Thanks!

I’m very content with the Reolink Doorbell.
It’s around €110, stores data on SD - cloud use is optional.
Block its DNS requests when you don’t want it to connect to Reolink HQ (AdGuard Home does the job well)

I’ve the powered-by-wire / wifi version.
It works perfect with the Onvif Camera app by Adrian, even visitors (pushing the button) are detected and usable as flow triggers

And it streams to the dashboard as well
