UniFi G4 Doorbell Pro - Dual-camera local video doorbell with package detection and zero subscription

Quick verdict

If you're in the UniFi ecosystem and want a doorbell that records locally with no monthly fee, the G4 Doorbell Pro is the one. The dual-camera package detection is useful and everything stays on your own NVR. It's a wired install and it's not cheap, but it's the most capable local-first doorbell available.

Standout: Dual-camera local video doorbell with package detection and zero subscription - the current UniFi Protect doorbell flagship.
