Doorbell reviews from Reddit

"Reolink maintains the integration itself, it's platinum quality, and they recently just joined the open smart home group officially"

"Reolink. Integrates very nicely with Home Assistant - they even have the Works with Home Assistant badge now"

"I can vouch for the Poe Reolink. I love mine. Hated eufy WiFi model. Mainly because of having to charge the battery so often."

"I just went with Reolink poe Wifi is nice but subject to interference and what not Biggest advantage to PoE; you can power cycle it from the switch"

"Reolink has been working very well for me. Integrates beautifully with home assistant."

"Go with the Reolink doorbell. I have mine plus several cameras hooked up to their NVR. No subscription, and can view and get alerts on your phone anywhere."

"Reolink! I have this camera indoors and it's wonderful."

"Yep, Reolink is great!"

"Reolink!"

"Reolink was already recommended but I’m here to second it. You can do local storage on your own wifi or store video in an sd card in the camera."

"My cameras have been flawless for 6+ years. My Homebase failed out of warranty but they gave me half-off a new one which I thought was fair."

"Eufy has really good video quality. IMHO they are the best bang for your buck, plus military grade encrypted"

"The Eufy doorbell is the one to beat. The hardware is what you’d expect, or better IMO. The app is very well done."

"Eufy. Period. I own an alarm company and I have eufy doorbells and cams on my properties. Excellent products."

"Eufy. No monthly fees. Best bang for the buck"

"Eufy 2k has been flawless for me. No monthly fees"

"Eufy e340 is a awesome doorbell cam"

"I've been really impressed with it. The connectivity has been rock-solid."

"The Eufy e340 is the middle of the road in terms of price but provides 2 cameras and nice quality."

"Maybe Eufy Security Video Doorbell Dual?"

"I'm on aqara and that's what I'm recommending now. Never needed to reset connection."

"I bought an Aqara and have been well pleased."

"Aqara g4."

"I have the Aqara g4 and love it."

"Aqara G4 works like a charm."

"Look at Aqara - lots of integrations."

"I would the Aqara G4. Doorbell as you can create advanced automations with facial recognition."

"I would get a HomeKit doorbell, like Aqara."

"Aqara cameras / doorbell if you go Aqara route."

"I wired my Aqara G4, but it also has batteries installed as backup."

"UniFi G4 Doorbell Pro and a CloudKey+ will be the best option."

"UniFi is the way to go. It’s the Apple of home networking and cameras. Wife approved."

"I bought a unifi g4 doorbell pro and learned later on that it has an nfc and fingerprint sensor in it. when i come home now, i can scan my fingerprint, it greets with me a “hello! the door will now unlock”, and the door unlocks."

"I use unifi g4 pro poe"

"Finally one I can answer: Ubiquiti G4 Their entire premise is YOU control your security."

"Ubiquiti are fantastic and let you control your own data."

"I just switched from the Wyze doorbell pro to the Ubiquiti G4 doorbell pro. A bit more expensive at $300, and you need unifi networking equipment (or a device to run their protect software). So if you don't have those already, it is probably a no go. One benefit is all recordings are completely local and not cloud based, if you prefer security over the recording."

"Have you checked out Ubiquiti's G4 Doorbell Camera?"

"Unifi has G4 Doorbell Pro, but you really would want to go all in on the Protect product line."

"Look into Ubiquiti."

"I have the battery doorbell, which also has package detection, and from what I've noticed it seems to work well."
