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?

Don’t the Ubiquity doorbells require a ‘dream machine’ storage appliance for recording video? I didn’t think there was a way to use your own storage anymore which has been my main hesitation in getting one.
oh, i didn’t know that, as i’m already in to deep in unifi appliances 😬
i think i remember that it was not required, but i would not be surprised if that has changed.
consodering that you would need a subscription for a ring doorbell (if i remember correctly) the 200€ for the storage device and the ~180€ for the doorbell would still be cheaper. i’d be surprised to see another alternative with the same features for less money or without a aubscription.
Cloud key Gen 2 Plus is about $200 and comes with a 2.5 inch 1TB hard drive so it is not that bad if you will have multiple cameras, but maybe not worth it just for one.
That’s been my problem. It’s overpriced for just a single camera considering I already manage a big storage pool that my other services can use. But do I want to lock myself into buying other Ubiquity IP cams down the road?
