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](https://adguard.com/en/adguard-home/overview.html) 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

> Yes! Needed to have the latest Homey firmware, beta App version and Homey App, and I now have live view from my Reolink Doorbell in Dashboards!
