Reolink Video Doorbell PoE (2K, RTSP, no subscription)
Subscription-free PoE video doorbell: 2K, head-to-toe 4:3 view, RTSP/ONVIF, microSD or NVR storage, on-device person detection - no cloud fees.
4.3 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommended
Strengths
- Subscription-free out of the box - every feature is available without a cloud plan
- 2K (5MP) sensor with a 4:3 head-to-toe view is unusual at this price
- Native RTSP and ONVIF support - drops into Frigate, Blue Iris, Synology Surveillance Station and Home Assistant
Watch outs
- Requires a PoE Ethernet run (or use the separate Wi-Fi variant, which has its own trade-offs)
- Reolink's app is functional rather than slick - a step behind Ring and UniFi Protect
- No native HomeKit; Alexa and Google integrations feel bolted-on rather than first-party
£90
