If there was a battery version I'd be all over it, or even if there was a PoE version I'd be willing to run the cable.

so why not run a 24v wire?

I would need to install a transformer too. Can I run 3 video doorbells on one transformer, or do I need multiple?

Can I do 24VAC over cat6? Or do I need to run wire rated for doorbell use, and then use it as a pull string when I replace with cat6 later?

I would prefer battery powered because running wire to the doors in this house would be a huge pain in the arse. Attic access is tight above 2 of the doors, plus I would have to drill through brick. I'm not even sure that it can be done here honestly, unless I go outside the brick which would look terrible.

So if I go through all that, I would at least like the added benefit of wired data with PoE. That might be enough to tip the scale. Otherwise I can't see myself running wire just for power, plus wiring and mounting a transformer, for what is essentially a beta product at this point.
