I currently have a ring doorbell that I pay a yearly fee for but I want to get away from Amazon and a subscription fee. I would prefer if it used the Wi-Fi and it was able to connect with my house doorbell. Edit: I'd also like to add that I would like it to have the ability to stream and record video.

Unifi protect doorbell, but I do believe you need a unifi protect instance in order to record

Do they have a wireless one? I've only ever seen wired options but don't know their product line super well

Wireless internet, but still needs to be wired in to get power. It's not battery

They do but I don't know if it's available on their official store anymore. It's just called the G4 Doorbell rather than the G4 pro

It still needs to be wired. Just not ethernet. It plugs into your doorbell low voltage wiring

[-] peter@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago

Ah, yeah it does require that. I assume that's what OP wants because they said they want to connect to their house doorbell

Oh shoot you're right. My bad
