Hey all I’m looking for recommendations for a video doorbell that doesn’t need an internet connection.

Preferably something that is WiFi and would work with Frigate?

    In my experience pretty much all IP cameras phone home in some way at some point, so yeah, you are best off putting them on a separate VLAN and routing appropriately.

    The only brand I’ve had a good experience with is Reolink. I don’t think the quality is appreciably different than a brand like Hikvision and the firmware and support is vastly superior.

    Edit: Some good info on using Reolink cameras with Frigate. I use Blue Iris but would vastly prefer OSS.
