Answer: For a local Home Assistant doorbell, the Reolink Video Doorbell (official, Local Push) and UniFi G4 Doorbell Pro (official UniFi Protect integration, Local Push; needs a UniFi console) are the strongest documented options. Amcrest AD410 works via a legacy local integration. Ring, Nest and Blink doorbells integrate only through their clouds.

Does the Reolink doorbell work with Home Assistant?

Yes, officially, with Local Push. 1 Reolink says to enable the RTSP and ONVIF ports first (Reolink App or Client: Settings > Network > Advanced), since many current models ship with them off; no Reolink account is needed for this. 234

Does Ring work with Home Assistant?
