Wired Video Doorbell for Security

I got a Blink video door bell recently and connected it to original chime, works perfectly and works with Alexa too.

I use the Eufy 2k Video Doorbell, powered from the existing doorbell wiring. I like the fact that the video clips are stored locally and the video quality is excellent.

I don't consider the lack of facial recognition a drawback. There is lots of evidence of that feature being misused. In general Ring has a poor track record with managing cloud based recordings.

My only gripe is that additional cameras regularly get discounts in the UK, but not in Ireland.

Another option is the unifi doorbell. It integrates fully with the existing chime. It communicates over wifi. It needs 16v rather than the standard 12v but a new transformer is included in the box. Other hardware is required if this is your only camera. If you want to put in multiple cameras, Unifi makes more financial sense. All the recordings are stored on a recorder box in the house and there are no recurring fees.
