It’s sad that it’s 2026 and tough to find a good ONVIF doorbell. Apparently the new reolink models require the reolink hub. I just want something local I can connect to home assistant that works well…
If anyone has recommendations, I’d appreciate them. Watched a lot of YouTube and a lot of conflicting takes out there where one review is terrible and another sounds like it must be sponsored with how much they love it.
I don’t see anything on the page saying the doorbell requires the hub, just that it works with reolink hub or reolink NVRs. The doorbell also has a n SD card slot for local storage. https://m.reolink.com/us/product/reolink-doorbell-battery/
Amazon reviews were the first place I saw it and reolink even has a page about onvif doorbells where they say that the new model requires the hub. I don’t remember if it was all new models but pretty sure it was at least the new WiFi one since that’s what I’d need.
