What kind of doorbell cameras is everyone using? Really want one without a monthly subscription because I have a wired security camera (Reolink) already installed. Just wanted it for people who actually ring the doorbell & package deliveries.

Wyze. I use the regular wyze cameras, but I am about to buy a doorbell camera. They have a monthly subscription if you want extra features, but if you just want to see when people ring the bell that is free

Neither does Ring.

You can pay $30/year if you want to get a certain amount of space to record every time your Ring camera goes off. But there is no requirement and if you don't pay the $30/year, they do record the event but delete it after a certain period of time.

Eufy has no subscription and works great.

We've got a Ring. Works well. We don't pay the subscription.

Eufy, plus it has enough internal memory to store up to 30 days’ worth of video. It records clips in 5 minute increments. Cloud service is available of you want it for $30 a year.

The viewing angle isn't as wide as some others is the only drawback.

They started sending a picture with the ring alerts.

Eufy is the answer you’re looking for. I did this research for you a while back.

Another vote for Eufy. I have the doorbell cam and two wireless cameras mounted outside. Work really well once you get it dialed in to reduce false notifications as they can be pretty sensitive to objects moving at first.

Can you access it if you aren't paying for the subscription?

While many do not REQUIRE a subscription to operate, Eufy provides for free most of what others charge for.
