Looking for the best doorbell camera… preferably no subscription required.

Also, is wireless better? It seems like it would be?

    Check out the Reolink POE doorbell cameras. Great integration with Home Assistant, mine has been rock solid since install.

        Not yet, and I probably won’t. I’ve never actually needed to talk to anyone through my doorbell, and if I want to I could just use the app.

        I have my home dashboard mounted next to my front door, so I’m working on an automation that will swap it to the camera view as soon as someone pushes the button - like a digital peep-hole

          I use the app as well. Half the time I’m not home so it’s been useful to have two way talk thru my VPN.

          I thought about doing something similar with a screen by the door!
