Video Doorbell 2

I live on a farm and run 2 doorbell, 2 regular outdoor cam battery, 1 outdoor cam with the pt control and the outdoor cam plus. With all their sensitivity set on max the pt cam and regular ones can pick up a cat or rabbit at 35 to 40 ft easy. Facing the road and my driveway, it will pick up basically all cars that go by or neighbors riding by on a horse. Distance is probably 75 yards. Ring video doorbell 2 is the newer hardwired one with the birds eye view, which i think is worthless it limits the camera from pick up beyond 30 ft. The outdoor cam plus is much better quality than the others, but I think the range it will pickup a human or vehicle is less than the older ones. If your in town it may not matter if you can pick up a vehicle at 75 yards, but out in the country, it sure is nice.

Ring 2 doorbell. Hard wire kit so I don't have to worry about changing the batteries. Works very well but does require a subscription.

I switched from Ring to Reolink. I have all video saved locally and I can pass it through Frigate for really good AI detection. It also integrates perfectly with Home Assistant. You can get their NVR to make this simple. My switch started because I had a package stolen and the Ring camera didn’t show it for some reason.

Powered wifi cams for doorbells plus POE. This is Reolink. For Ring my doorbells were battery powered plus a bunch of wifi cams.

If you use a Ring be aware that you need the model that runs on power. I had a battery model that was connected to power to charge the battery. The battery often was drained and I needed to remove it and recharge outside the doorbell. Use the powered model without the battery to feed from the old 24vac feed.

I've a bettery powered ring door bell, it's dead handy

Ring has battery powered doorbells. So, you could mount to the brick without wiring. And if you want a chime inside your house in addition to the app notifications, they have that too. Chime plugs into a wall outlet inside and chimes when doorbell rings.

Ring do battery powered ones. No wiring needed. Just charge it occasionally while you're at home. I think they even do little solar panel accessory so you really shouldn't need to charge it often
