I'm using reolink doorbells for the front and back door, no monthly fees, uses ethernet cables for power (POE), bought a 4k 4 camera refurb system with dvr for $275 off ebay that's also reolink and they all work together seamlessly. I'm happy with them. Paid $70 each for the doorbells so about a $430 dollar investment for my security system.
I have a blink doorbell and it doesn't have a card slot or anything so I use their sync module with a usb thumb drive and don't have to worry about subscription. Can still see live and it saves events
I've been looking at Eufy and Reo: Any reason you picked Reo over Eufy?
As an aside, your setup is great for a tech-savvy DIYer, but most people will pay for the convenience of swapping out their existing doorbell to save time.
honestly i saw the threat on here last november for $275 or whatever refurb and gave it a shot. I didn't need anything more than 4 regular mounted cameras
Blink is a waste anymore. They need to make them rechargeable with the way the price of ultimate lithium batteries went up in price. When I stocked up on them last time I paid $18 for each 24 pack which is like 75 cents each, now they are bout $2.50 a battery. Blink claims the last 2 years which is totally false. Real life usage is about 6 months. My stash of batteries are about gone, now it's time to just pitch the cameras
You're absolutely right. I found myself buying lithium batteries at least 3-4 times a year—seemed like every quarter. Factor batteries into the cost unless you're monitoring air.

I have been using Eufy for 3 years, ranging from 2k to 4k, indoors, outdoors, doorbell, duel camera, solar, no issues at all. The high resolution is totally worth it compared to 1080p. It's a bit more expensive than Blink though.
I'm surprised/disappointed I don't see an option for the 20% trade-in discount that made the other 4-camera deal SUPER slick (link below). ...and it's not b/c I had already used the trade-in, since I still see that option on other blink products.
Oooh. Thanks/repped! Even though I don't need another sync module, this was still a better deal than the Doorbell + Outdoor Cam ($60)... at least for what I needed.

$100 seems high to me.

this actually comes with sync module 2 which means you don't need subscription... you can just use sd card for storage
