I'm extremely inept with tech. What are the chances of me successfully setting up a doorbell cam that is fully offline (no access to the Internet at all)? Any reasonably easy solutions?

I had a glimmer of hope when I found [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Monitoring-Photograph-recording-Apartment/dp/B0BL2MSXM6), but it has pretty bad reviews.

Sorry if it’s a dumb question. This is brand new to me, and when I looked at some old threads on the topic I felt over my head.

Ubiquiti unifi Protect makes it very easy. Buy a unifi protect doorbell and cloud key gen2+ (your network video recorder).
