I've got most my neighbors to replace expensive doorbells with cheap ones with sd cards and better imaging. They're happy to have spent $50-100 where it pays for itself in a year vs this shit.
Any specific recommendations?
Not really. I bought a Fiet Electric one from Menards (like Home Depot). All my smart devices are on their own VLAN on my home net. Yes it's still online connected for remote viewing, but gives me a little separation and immediate storage/historical access.
I think this is it. I cantt remember, I don't use the doorbell

Also why my home gym beats my old gym membership. Higher investment up front, better returns. Well done.
