Katie Commentary
There are lots of doorbell cameras out there, but the thing I really like about this one (and indeed all of Reolink’s security cameras) is that there is no subscription/monthly fees and the recordings are stored locally. One of the hidden benefits of this is the response speed – when the doorbell rings you instantly see who’s there as there is no need for the data to come from the cloud.
