So keep hearing Home Assistant <3 REOLINK - is that true?
And makes this better than the Tapo cam?
(I think I'm done with my Nest doorbell cam 😶)
"WIRE FREE + FLEXIBLE POWER SOLUTION: Battery or wired installation supported. Regarding the wired mode, the doorbell is charged trickily through the battery after it is connected to the power source. Works with existing mechanical chimes for power and ringing when connected via wiring; supports DC 24V, AC 8-24V, and 5VA-40VA transformers. Note: 24/7 continuous recording is not supported."
POE version too:

reolink home assistant integration and the devs behind it are bad ass. Updates are regular so are new features and fixes. All my reolink cameras(new and old) expose a ton of entities which makes it possible to create some insane automations. I literally had zero issues with it in 5 years since I dived into the home assistant and reolink ecosystem
P.S. not sure about the tapo cam but all my switches in the house are tp link kasa devices, I love all 20+ of them.

edit: wait the old model was also 2k, did they just remove the ethernet port and add mechanical chime support and a battery
Thinking of switching from Ring
