Reolink poe video doorbell actually liked by ipcamtalk members .. there is even a long thread there on it.
I own the Wifi version of this, which also supports wired ethernet (just not being powered via PoE). If you have a doorbell hookup already, there's not really a reason to get the PoE version over the Wifi version (even if you want to use ethernet instead of Wifi).

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.
I own this and recommend it. Free cloud features are pretty good and I had minimal false notifications when I was using the cloud. I have since blocked it from direct access to the internet to increase security, but I'm still able to connect directly to the camera from the app on my local network (or remotely from the app if I vpn into my home network).

I just installed this. So far I like it but one thing to keep in mind that you cannot hook up the existing doorbell. However it's sending the doorbell signal over the standard 433 mhz so there are relay devices that can learn the code and trigger the doorbell. I might do this as I don't really like the idea of a chime plugged into an outlet.

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.

I'd like to know too. My godmother bought this and I did try to install it, but it didn't work the way I thought it would.

I didn't realize this when I installed it. I saw the two terminals there, but then all it does is power up the doorbell, It would have been a great thing to do both.

It's going to be different for every single house… personally, I can get to the wall cavity from the basement below. Drill a hole, drill a hole that will be behind the doorbell, run a snake a pull some CAT6 into the basement. Throw a PoE switch in the basement and connect to the network.

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 😉

I cut a hole into the drywall right on the other side where I wanted to mount it. Then ran the cable up so I could run it through the ceiling. I cut a hole into the same wall right above, close to the ceiling (large enough to fit my drill with bit into it) and another smaller hole (large enough to fit my hand) next to it into the ceiling so that I could drill a hole through the top of the wall into the closest cavity in the ceiling. And then basically made my way to the center of my home where a vertical hvac stack sits that spans the basement to the upper floor. Basically every time I had to cross a joist I cut a small hole (about the size of my hand) right before it so I could drill a hole, grab the cable with my hand and push it into the next. What makes it a lot easier is a stud finder, a metal fish tape (especially helpful on the exterior wall that has insulation in it), and an oscillating tool to cut the drywall (drywall hand saw works too but don't underestimate how much strain you put on your arm if you're not used to it). And then you just close up the drywall, texture and paint it. I'm not done with this project yet, still need to texture and paint.

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.

Yeah really wonder why they didn't put a small relay in there where you hook up the existing wires and trigger an existing doorbell. Not sure why they didn't, seems like such a simple thing. I suspect they cater mostly to new construction as most people probably won't want to try and run ethernet to their door...

Have the wifi version which weirdly also has Ethernet. It was fine in wireless but I changed my wireless router & password and couldn't get WiFi it to work after that so I said screw and ran Ethernet. The video quality is now significantly better.

That was 6th doorbell I tried and first I finally liked.
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

Meh reviews and meh price. The biggest issue IME with all video doorbells is motion detection. They are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough or, if it's a Eufy, both at the same time. AI person detection is also a crapshoot. I have found Ring Pro doorbells to perform best in this respect but I'm not into subscriptions.
