Hey all I’m looking for recommendations for a video doorbell that doesn’t need an internet connection.

Preferably something that is WiFi and would work with Frigate?

        When using reolink in a self-hosted setting:

        • how do you get notifications of someone at the door?
        • can you use the android app still?
        • how do you securely store video on your server? They say they support ftps, but I have no idea how hard that is to set up. Shame they don’t support sftp.

        Thanks

          I bought one of their NVRs, so that currently stores recordings. I have yet to figure out how (or if) I want to integrate with my NAS or other (tbd) home automation.

          I get push notifications on my phone and watch by having the Reolink app installed.

      Can the Reolink doorbell leverage your existing chime? Or do you need to use the plug-in chime that it comes with?
