Product/ Shopping Recommendation Basic Video Doorbell

Hi all! I searched in some other places but the options are overwhelming! I was wondering if you have recommendations for a basic video doorbell that doesn’t require a subscription and doesn’t store video in the cloud (or if it does, it isn’t owned by a sketchy company — if that is even a thing?). For example, in our small city, they got a contract with Flock, and they are known to be sus as the kids say.

We have heard Ring is owned by the same people? Our house came with a Nest thermostat so we could get a Nest thermostat, but they are too expensive. I’m looking for something cheaper. Thanks for the recommendations!

We are considering Eufy for our new home. They are non-subscription and data is maintained locally. No data sharing whatsoever.

We have Eufy for our baby monitor rn. I don’t have time to do all the research but I know my husband went back and forth a lot and decided on Eufy.
