Hi,

I am looking for a decent doorbell camera with:

  • No subscription.
  • Pre-recording locally, 5+ sec duration.
  • Event recording (locally) total duration of 15+ sec.
  • Smart detection: people only is ok.

I just got Wyze v2, but just found out it doesn’t do pre-recording for the event, nor event recording. Only event snapshot.

Note: What I meant by pre-recording is sometimes called pre-motion recording, or pre-buffer.

    If you find this I would be very curious! I have a ring and it does this… But only with the subscription

      From reading the comments and digging deeper, I think I lean toward Reolink. Just need to find the info about event recording duration before pulling the trigger.

      I setup an Amcrest 4mp doorbell cam 9 months ago to meet the same need. It required cloud access for initial setup, set the WiFi, admin password and enable RTSP, then my Synology NAS took over recording from there and I blocked it’s access to the Internet.
