I currently have a ring doorbell that I pay a yearly fee for but I want to get away from Amazon and a subscription fee. I would prefer if it used the Wi-Fi and it was able to connect with my house doorbell. Edit: I'd also like to add that I would like it to have the ability to stream and record video.

I would also note they have a PoE version as well. It's quite handy to minimise congestion on your WiFi, and not have to worry about batteries.

Both work well with various home automation systems.
