Door Bell camera without subscription

[potterton678]

Morning
I'm looking for a video doorbell.
I don't want to pay a monthly subscription.

Must be powered and not battery operated.
Motion detection and person tracking would be a nice features

Your thoughts and experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I got a Tapo TD21 at Christmas for about £50. Good bit of kit. Easy to set up. No subscription unless you want too connect to cloud.
Has everything you need except its powered by battery.
Charged Christmas down too 50% now
Good clear picture
Connects to phones TV comes in white or black

Lots of cheap door bell cams on the market, most can be permanently wired but not always easy to find suitable route for cable .Other option is a camera by front door ( I have a Tapo ) no door bell but you can’t get to the door without triggering it and offers two way speech .

The Eufy doorbell camera is available (wired or battery) with a hard drive which connects to the router. It allows you to review (from memory) up to 30 days of video via the app on your phone or tablet. No subscription is required. The downside is that the upfront cost is higher because of the hard drive. You will also need a plug in chime so that you will know when someone is at the door (in the event that you don't have your phone on you).

My neighbour has the Eufy and is happy with it, she who no longer talks to me has the Amazon Ring doorbell and pays the cloud based subscription. That said, she also has the Ring floodlight at the back of the property.

Eufy also sell motion detector flood lights which I believe will send video/audio to the hard drive. Again, no subscription required.

I fancy one which has a wide lens, and uses that until it sees something moving. Then it zooms in and uses a gimbal to follow the object about. About £150 from China.
