I personally have mine set up to stream RTSP+ONVIF and for the past few months it's been consumed by Frigate (long-term recording), tinyCam (for combined local viewing alongside my Amcrest cameras until I get Frigate hooked into HomeAssistant), and the Reolink app.
However I did have to switch things up last week, as any time 3+ clients we're consuming the RTSP stream at once, RTSP would just stop working (the Reolink app would keep working though). Now I've got go2rtc as the only RTSP consumer, with Frigate and tinyCam consuming the re-streamed go2rtc stream. Haven't had any issues since doing that.
Other than that hiccup, this doorbell has been pretty reliable, much more so than my old Wyze doorbell.
A limited set of their products are also on Costco and Sam Club's websites (even occupying physical retail space), which puts them at least a tier above "no name" imo.
Here's a solid breakdown - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXoTH1-78iA

I'm sure there are more user friendly doorbell cams, but for people who have their own NVR and want to keep their data local, this is fantastic.

Of course, they'd love for you to buy their NVR, but the camera outputs are not proprietary, so any NVR that can use RTSP can be used here.
And since I went with the secure approach, I still haven't figured out how I will get alerts or whether I will be able to use the audio feature. I've read about different approaches and layers to accomplish these things but I guess it depends on how much effort you want to put into setting all that up.
However, if you are fine with letting it be connected to the internet and use the Reolink app then it's probably easy.
