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.

Ask HN: What is the best privacy focussed video doorbell?
This GitHub issue describes how the official Eufy app talks to Tuya: https://github.com/mitchellrj/eufy_robovac/issues/1 - you see that once you get your Tuya User ID from the Eufy API, the actual password to talk to Tuya is actually hardcoded and the same for every user.
I've got some code that implements the "request signature" mechanism (the missing piece of the puzzle in the above issue) that might make this more obvious - you'll notice that the TuyaAPISession class only takes a username (the aforementioned sequential ID) and country code, no password (as it's hardcoded and the same for everyone): https://gitlab.com/Rjevski/eufy-device-id-and-local-key-grab...
