It's a great camera; it even supports FTP/SFTP to my NAS in addition to storing everything on a microSD card. So on the very off chance that someone totally destroys the camera, I still have a copy of everything without needing to pay for cloud storage.
It also supports Alexa/Google Home as a chime (Nest Mini/Nest Hub/etc), and can stream the live camera footage to any Google Cast compatible screens (including any of those devices with screens themselves, like my Nest Hub).
Also a little tip -- Reolink charges extra for "Rich Previews" (I forget the naming), but it's for preview images inside of Motion Notifications (like thumbnails before you go into the app, in the notification previews themselves). You can get this feature for free by enabling email notifications and using the email address for service like Pushover/Pushbullet/etc. They're near-instant too.

How did you run Ethernet cable to the doorbell
This is what I'd like to know as well. I've had a Reolink 5mp WiFi outdoor camera for a couple years and really like it. But Reolink really favors the PoE cameras I feel like. They're more reliable in sure, but not always feasible for running Ethernet cable to.

If there's no wall access above (attic in single story) or below (basement for 1st floor), then you're looking at a bunch of Sheetrock/paint work and it's not worth it at all 😉
Yeah it's a bit of work but I've run plenty ethernet cables over the years. I'm also running some cables for some PoE cameras at the same time. I would hope that in newer homes they just run cat5 as doorbell cable, but I don't really know.
Pros:
* Fastest notification -> talking with visitor reaction time - that was the problem with the rest of doorbells - they were easily taking 10+ seconds and the person was often gone already
* clear picture
* no subscription - drop in SD card and it will hold months of recordings
Cons:
* you'll need PoE hub and run ethernet cable to the door
* when installed at recommended height cannot see packages left by the door - I made an angled block to correct the angle
