Hi,

I am looking for a decent doorbell camera with:

  • No subscription.
  • Pre-recording locally, 5+ sec duration.
  • Event recording (locally) total duration of 15+ sec.
  • Smart detection: people only is ok.

I just got Wyze v2, but just found out it doesn’t do pre-recording for the event, nor event recording. Only event snapshot.

Note: What I meant by pre-recording is sometimes called pre-motion recording, or pre-buffer.

    I haven’t got into this yet, but the approach I was going to look into was using an IP camera and CCTV style software, which gives me my buffered recordings. I can then choose to process the image for motion, or use a PIR or push of the door bell to trigger the save (which is less intensive processing).
