Hey everyone my doorbell stopped working properly so I am planning to get a video doorbell instead.  
Do you have any good models you’d recommend?

I’m very content with the [Reolink wifi Doorbell](https://m.reolink.com/product/reolink-video-doorbell-wifi/) (D340W - h/w version `DB_566128M5MP_W`)  
This non-battery version works on Dutch standard 8VAC doorbell power.  
Battery version [here](https://m.reolink.com/product/reolink-doorbell-battery/)  
And it’s price is quite nice as well.

It works great with the [Onvif Camera app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-support-for-onvif-compatible-cameras-release-2-0-54-test-2-0-58/28377); ~~this is a cam only app, no~~  
It even has doorbell functionality, by the “alarm” of the “Visitor Detected” capability.  
(‘Visitor’ == ‘someone rang the bell’).

RTSP stream works well also.
