I use and strongly recommend Ubiquiti as a self-hosted on-prem video doorbell (and more generally, surveillance) system. PoE or WiFi.

No privacy with closed source software. Can you prove it's not phoning home?
We live in reality. Not everything is Foss. You do the best you can with what’s available
OpenWRT routers and Frigate CCTV software are both FOSS. I live in a free, private reality. You?
Congrats on achieving peak privacy by open-sourcing the 1 percent of the stack you can actually see while trusting the other 99 percent you can’t. I’m sure the chip firmware and binary blobs appreciate your faith
Did you look into Eufy before getting this?
Briefly; Eufy has had a lot of problems including "encrypted" streams not really being encrypted (https://www.channelnews.com.au/eufys-chinese-owners-finally-admit-their-security-cameras-were-a-security-risk/) as well as that they are Chinese owned and manufactured.
Ubiquiti is US owned and Taiwanese manufactured; and further I use a complete Ubiquiti networking stack (gateway, switching, wifi) so it was a great fit.
Good to know👍🏼
I’m waiting for Start9 to one day release their home surveillance cameras that can be paired to their upcoming router that’s hooked to my server pure. One day 😅
