Tired of Jeff Bezos controlling your doorbell cam? I made a privacy focused one that's based on an ESP32 with local Home Assistant integration. (tristam.ie)

TBH the only way I've found around this is a full CCTV solution monitoring my perimeter, the doorbell can just identifies those who come really close and push the button.

A doorbell camera should be viewed as for convenience on the door. If you want adequate security you really need to get a dedicated security focused solution.
