Reolink Video Doorbell PoE - PoE-powered doorbell with RTSP for fully local recording

Quick verdict

The Reolink Doorbell PoE is the dream doorbell for local-first smart homes. RTSP streaming, no cloud dependency, and PoE reliability. The catch is you need ethernet at your front door, which is a significant installation project for most homes. If you can swing it, it's worth it.

Standout: PoE-powered doorbell with RTSP for fully local recording - no cloud, no subscriptions, no compromises.
