What's the best camera doorbell?

Currently on the lookout for a reasonable priced doorbell with camera that is worth buying either wired or long battery life. Open to either, but I can't seem to decide which one are worth actually buying.

    There's been a number of smart / video doorbell recommendation requests in recent days,
    where the definitive repeated response is:

    Total £8.26 and no subscription via that recently HUKD-friendly & quality products purveyor: Temu.
    The £8.26 option includes the essential indoor tinkling machine to make you the envy of your tinklingless acquaintances & neighbours.
    Uses highly-rated Tuya SmartLife app (4.7/5 at play.google) so opens up opportunities to use same app to control all manner of other smart devices
    play.google.com/sto…ife

    This option is so ridiculously cheap you'll probably have to buy some other tat to meet the £10 or £15 minimum spend.
    Maybe buy two to meet the minimum spend requirement,
    and gift the surplus one to somebody you don't like?
    But be mindful of the aggressive marketing that warns "almost sold out"

    Go for Reolink Doorbells and camers, you won't be disappointed for sure. Friendly App, impressive Camera quality, AI in build, local storage upto 256gb MicroSd card, very clear sound and mic with one of investment of around £70-80 range. You can also get same version with POE doorbell (if got problems with connecting WiFi) Hope this helps

    What's the camera quality like on a night? Which particular model do you have? Cheers

    On a deal site the cheapest is often regarded as the best... price.

    Is Temu better than AliExpress? Not dipped my toe in yet, bit wary.

    I’m not renewing my Ring subscription so also looking elsewhere for no subscription smart doorbell.
    Prior to Ring I had Toucan which I loved for 180 degree field of view (most don’t have this much), but hated the app and lousy connection to Wi-Fi (even though the Ring has no trouble with connection). 

    Been looking at one called Echobell but never heard of them. Has anyone else here? 

    Sorry not trying to hijack OPs thread.

    I’m currently looking at Eufy. (edited)

    No doubt all Ring Doorbell account holders who subscribe to a basic plan have had the dreaded notification about the hike in yearly subscriptions to £49.99 per device from April.

    I've been on live chat with Ring who advised me to remove the payment method from my account so it doesn't automatically renew.

    So the hunt is on for a decent alternative without an annual subscription.

    Suggestions welcome
