Reolink
4.5
(38)
"If you have an existing doorbell, the Reolink WiFi doorbell cam works perfect with HA and scrypted. Works over the existing 24v doorbell wiring."
"I've used the WiFi version but recently upgraded to the PoE version and it's awesome. Almost instant video feed locally."
"I have the Reolink PoE via Scrypted, it’s been flawless - and a lot cheaper than Ubiquiti!"
"Has been extremely good."
"Completely love it."
"Superb picture quality and integrates extremely well with Home Assistant."
"I went with the Reolink. I added an SD card and it’s hardwired. I love it. Quick to alert. Super clear. Loads quickly."
"Reolink Wifi version then run ethernet to it. I've got a 128GB Micro SD card in mine and its been spot on."
"I just got the Reolink PoE doorbell. Has an SD card, good camera quality, phone app, no subscription necessary."
"I have the Reolink wired WIFI one and it's been great."

"I dropped Ring immediately after purchase"
"Even in this setup, it never misses a beat. Notifications come through quickly, pinging my iPhone and watch."

"I’ve been using the Eufy dual doorbell hardwired for the past 18 months, and it's been fantastic."
"I use Eufy, and I love that there's just a one-time fee with no subscription. We have the original model hardwired, and it works perfectly."

Ring
4.0

"I think it's great, connects seamlessly with alexa devices."
"Got a Ring last year and find it great, we got an older gen one for a good price."
"I got the Ring. I read this site's review and decided to get it over Eufy"
"Yeah I'm on Ring as doorbell plus a chime and 2 pet cams."
"The app is great, it always works, the notifications are great."
"I Like the Ring dorrbell"
"Detects every movement by the door"
"I ended up purchasing the Ring Pro 2, which has a few features that the cheaper Wired model lacks, though I’m not entirely convinced it's worth the extra cost."
"We have a Ring doorbell, and the camera quality, microphone, and detection features are all impressive."
"I cannot fault the Ring Wired doorbell. However, a strong Wi-Fi signal from your router is essential."

Ubiquiti

"Ubiquiti G4 Pro Doorbell with HomeBridge."
"I have the WiFi/doorbell wiring powered version. I love it compared to my previous Arlo and the Ring before that: the video quality is night and day better."
"Very happy with it."
"I ended up going with a Ubiquiti Unifi setup for my own home."
"Have you checked out Ubiquiti's G4 Doorbell Camera? There is a homebridge plugin for Unifi Protect."
"I use the Uniquiti doorbell. Records to a local hard drive. Mind you, I have all Uniquiti devices. Probably makes it easier for setup."
"Doorbell has good video quality supporting different streams, dedicated package camera, path light, fingerprint reader, NFC reader, and small display that you can access with scrypted or homebridge. It’s basically rock solid."
"End up going with the Ubiquiti G4 because I decided I want all of my security in a native ecosystem and I can rebroadcast to Homekit for convenience as needed"
"I use Ubiquiti G4 doorbell pro via scrypted."
"Looks like a genuinely good product."

Blink
