@doug you got a guide you've followed for the alternative? Everyone around us is installing Ring BS and I'd like to sometime show off an alternative.

@emkingma I have to admit I went lazily with Tapo/TP-Link which supports a local SSD. A friend answered his doorbell while we were out recently and I was impressed at the superior image quality, AND the timeliness of the call. The device has "onboard AI" which is hype speak for ML pattern recognition. And it came with an indoor chime - a separate expense for Ring devices! Ring has a terrible delay, which is frankly unacceptable esp. considering the cost.
