A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, I had the same issue when I was looking. I settled on Axis cameras headquartered out of Sweden.
My main criteria was I wanted something that didn't require the cloud and could be powered over ethernet. They're a bit pricey but the build quality is good. I don't have the doorbell one, but they do offer it.
Only downside is their free software utility is kind of limited and annoying to use and the main paid management software is geared towards businesses so you can't just buy it outright, their site directs you to call them and have a tech come out and "assess" your need. I ended up creating my own mini server running Blue Iris and I have an old NAS that serves as storage along with an onboard microSD.
