I wish people would just give one simple recommendation for wired options that doesn't require cloud services that will use existing chime. Every single one of these posts consists of random complaints and no suggestions of what one should look for instead.

Yes. I got the white one though which has more similar aspect ratio to the Nest it replaced.
So i just bought one of these and I'm already returning it. Doesn't mean its bad, but figured i'd share my setup just in case anyone with a similar one is considering it.
Had it wired to my old doorbell wires. My front door faces west directly into the sun. It was super easy to set up in both home assistant and Unifi Protect (if you want to do any of this, you also need to buy one of their hubs; cheapest one is ~$100). This thing didn't even make it 24 hours before the battery was completely dead. It shows that its charging via the doorbell wires, but the charge cannot keep up with the power needs apparently.
Spoke with Reolink customer service and their solution was basically to turn off all the features: PIR, event detection, remove it from home assistant and protect. At that point it basically becomes a normal doorbell for me. I did try to remove it from HA and Protect, recharged it via usb, then reconnected it to the doorbell wires, and it again died in less than a day.
I imagine the PoE one would work much better, but i cannot run PoE to the front door currently.
As a side note, their customer service dept has been a nightmare. I've been trying to return both items for 20+ days, and their CS dept seemed to be delaying as much as possible to get me past the 30 day return window. Finally, once i started a chargeback, I got it escalated and finally got concrete return info/terms.
I've been surprised by this whole experience because people seem to really sing Reolink's praises in the Home Assistant community.
Just coming here to say I installed Reolink Poe cameras last fall and I LOVE them. I realize this is WiFi, but the cameras do exactly what I want them to do.
I did try to put them in blue iris and there was too much delay for my taste. The Reolink dvr does the job just fine. Pulling up my cameras over a cellular connection is very quick. Compared to nest, ring etc.
YMMV but I am returning mine because it couldn't handle exactly this. Recording to an NVR killed the battery of this thing in less than a day for me. It charges verrrrrry slowly and the power couldn't keep up with the usage in my case.
Didn't know they had a new version of this and thought maybe it might be worth an upgrade. I have the old white one and its been great. However, I don't understand why they didn't make a wired version of this one (non PoE) that can do 24/7 recording, even if we have to bypass the old mechanical door chime. This kind of defeats one of the main advantages they had.

Did you verify your doorbell transformers voltage output before returning? Alot of older homes have doorbell transformers that put out like 14v but these newer style camera doorbells can't keep up without 24v. I work at a company that installs Nest doorbells and this was a common issue.

I did. I was even "upgrading" from a Nest that works just fine.
