Doorbell Camera / NVR (post Unifi) (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Hi all, my Unifi Doorbell just died after only 4 years of service. I've been pretty disheartened with them lately, other products haven't lived up to the company's promise.

So I'm not looking to replace my networking stack yet, but I am looking for a doorbell camera. I only have the Unifi machine, but I also have an extensive docker/kubernetes stack, and mostly I want to use it with Home Assistant.

Any recommendations? Open to software, hardware, you name it. I have a few other Unifi cameras too, if they could be brought into the fold while I slowly migrate, I'd be interested. Thanks!

So i’m moving to one of the new unifi doorbell lites until I find a better solution, or bite the bullet and buy a higher end one.

I really wish they made the Lite with wifi capabilities. I would love to run a POE doorbell, but renting makes that very difficult, and the regular doorbell price is comically obscene.
