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

although i'm not sure what you mean by wired. i believe this transmits power and data over ethernet so you have to run ethernet too it (so it's a non starter for me, running ethernet through an insulted exterior wall=yuck). the wifi version would just be powered over existing doorbell wirings, transmit data via wifi, and not need any additional wiring, but both are wired in a sense

All my reolink cameras are PoE, but for the doorbell I went with wifi and find it to connect just as fast and reliable.

No name brand. Be weary.
Reolink is a very well known and respected brand among anyone who researches beyond the big name brands like Ring.

Reolink's biggest selling point, IMHO, is that it supports RTSP. So that you can use it with your own NVR and not be limited to something as primitive as a SD card and not have to use someone's cloud service. This feature is what sets Reolink apart from all the others and is why it's so popular with the DIY crowd.
The camera you mentioned doesn't support RTSP and that's an immediate, automatic deal-breaker for certain people.
I can't/won't run POE to my front door, and I know their is a wifi version on sale, but I went with this. Cheapest I've ever seen with coupon.
