Ring is flocked (not to mention beholden to Bezos); get rid of your Ring cameras, people.
I have a ring camera. It came with the townhouse and it sucks. We're considering replacing it because it doesn't even consistently work as a door bell because either we keep needing to charge it or it's on too crowded a wireless band, not sure which.
Did you know you have to subscribe to even record videos? Screw that.
Also the privacy concerns, but that ship has sailed in my particular case because both my nextdoor neighbors have ring cameras, as well as at least 3 units across the street.
Reolink, Eufy, and UniFi Protect (if you’re into that sort of thing).
Eufy is the closest to Ring (it’s not perfect, still some concerns, but miles ahead of ring and gives at least a bit more control of your data). It’s convenient to use for sure.
Reolink is ideal if you don’t want to buy into a closed ecosystem and less convenient but probably the most willing to let you control your data.
UniFi would be great, but you get locked into their ecosystem from the jump. Data is all yours, forever, but you have to exclusively use their (overpriced) hardware. And I believe the doorbells need wiring to work. Whether old school 2 wire doorbell wiring, Ethernet cable, or even a USB C cable in the wall.
I have a reolink and it works great! I get all the features that ring puts behind a paywall, plus keep everything local/private.
I'm very happy about it and in the process of expanding the system.
Personally, I have UniFi Protect because I bought them second-hand from work. I REALLY do like them, but the 75 percent discount made it even CLOSE to my budget.
If I had to start again, Reolink and Eufy would be the two I’d compare. Eufy seems easier for my family, but Reolink would be my goal.
don't trust eufy

I appreciate the suggestions, but last I heard we were looking at the sort of basic battery-operated doorbell you install using 3m strips at your 1890s triple-decker college apartment, no camera or anything half as fancy. I'd be happy with a door knocker (low tech and reliable) if the HOA wouldn't have kittens.
(I know, I know, HOA, but the condo is so much cheaper than renting, and shared governance makes sense when you share a roof.)
Reolink claims their battery doorbell can last 300 days on one charge and Eufy sells a doorbell with 2 batteries so you can swap out without forgetting to put the battery back in after it charges. If you’re in a townhome, interference could definitely be a problem and Reolink can use 5 GHz wireless which, for a townhome, should be able to get to the door.
Not trying to sell you on a video doorbell for sure, but if you like the idea, I think there’s options that work a bit better than Amazon can do.
What really gets me is part of its purpose is letting you know you got packages, IE, from Amazon, but then it does not detect Amazon drivers, because I assume they have some sort of jammer.
Any door bell camera that has online access is potentially compromised or soon will be.
It will never happen. It's to well known and outside places like this will you ever hear people talk about them that way. It's just accepted. I never got a camera at all still, but when I was looking I was only looking at local storage only solutions.
Keep your "don't bother trying to make the world better" to yourself, please.
Apathy is a contagious and deadly disease.
I agree but he's not entirely wrong. As someone that does inform people of dangers, they often strangely hate you for it. Especially with like roundup and bullshit, toxic food preservatives like sodium benzoate, and the like. Boomers are especially dickbrained like this, don't ask me why, I would like to know. (They trust the wrong people and are led to believe we are the assholes by the corporations and their tribal leaders that follow their lead obviously I guess I do know generally but not their exact thought process in taking personal offense or disliking someone for warning them of a danger.)
I never said they were wrong. Read more carefully.
Not all truths are helpful to announce. Here's an example:
You or someone you love is going to have a miserable and agonizing death from cancer.

My very conservative in-laws tossed their ring cameras after I informed them of Ring using their cameras for data harvesting and law enforcement.
If you choose to believe nobody besides people like us care, that's on you.
You can buy other brands
No no no, we must proactively give up on any potential measures to improve anything. Hopefully people will read this and think I'm clever for having a hot take.
