This Reolink Doorbell with Chime has been popular previously and now you can get it cheaper than the recent Amazon deal. If you have AliExpress Coins you can get a further 5% off and it'll stack with cashback. It ships from Reolink's AU warehouse with both the PoE and WiFi versions on sale.
The doorbell has a 5MP camera with 2K resolution, 180° FOV, person/motion detection, two-way audio, IR LEDs for night vision, chime (AU plug) with 10 tunes available, supports recorded voice messages, LAN Port (PoE version). You can use the Reolink app to access, playback and talk.
One of the big features this has compared to others (i.e. Ring) is that there's no monthly fees for using the cloud storage. Like other Reolink cameras it supports microSD cards, NVRs (Reolink, Blue Iris, Synology etc), RTSP streaming, FTP, Home Assistant, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:
Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:
- Set the website currency to USD
- Checkout with PayPal
- Select your card with no international fees
- Click "See currency options"
- Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
- Proceed with checkout
Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.
It’s great, and it works with home assistant
