As earlier mentioned I’m a big fan of local solutions, part because of security and knowing where your data is stored and part being ownership.
Too many times a cloud solution leads to sudden risk of privacy, data or even your devices. Last seen with Sonos excluding old devices.
Therefore I went for a local doorbell solution.
The parts I have been using is a cheap TP C100 security camera (with rtsp support) and an Aqara WXKG11LM button.
For weatherproofing I ordered this one. It’s not a perfect fit because it was ment for the TP KC100 but good enough.
The doorbell camera can also be included in a security system with rtsp. Can recommend Blue Iris and Milestone.
Adjust to your liking!
