Verdict

Reolink’s Wi-Fi video doorbell remains a go-to choice thanks to sharp 2K video, flexible local storage to microSD or NVR, and a very fair roughly $100 price, though its person-only AI and lack of newer package or vehicle detections make it less appealing if you want cutting-edge smart features.
