Ask HN: What is the best privacy focussed video doorbell?
I've just ordered an Amcrest AD410. I handle my video footage through https://frigate.video hooked into Home Assistant, and the Amcrest cameras are pretty open and compatible with this setup, apparently. They have a (somewhat hidden) API, with some open source solutions like https://github.com/dchesterton/amcrest2mqtt about which expose it to more common standards, and Home Assistant has an official integration for them too.
I've been really happy with my Frigate setup and previously wrote a few words about the switch: https://senryu.pub/afternoonrobot/articles/replacing-unifi-v.... It has taken me ages to find a viable doorbell, however, which is why I've only just ordered the AD410. I'm pretty hopeful for it, and a colleague already has one and really likes it.

Amcrest AD410 vs Unifi G4 Doorbell
Then I would go with the amcrest.. The official Amcrest integration is a bit janky. However the HACS https://github.com/rroller/dahua integration should expose nearly all of the cameras native functions in Home assistant.. Amcrest devices are also well supported in SS, and if you run into problems like I did with my AD110 camera, you can fall back to RTSP in SS for the camera and it will work well.
