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?

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

        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.
