I have a problem neighbour who comes to the house and has a go for no logical or valid reasons and so I want a video doorbell that can 1) hopefully act as a deterrent so they don't do it anymore but also 2) if they do, records it in case we have to escalate the situation.

So I'm looking for a video doorbell that

is around or under £100

records video *and* audio when motion is detected outside (even if the doorbell isn't rung)

doesn't require a subscription

is easy to download videos to my phone to share

operates with WiFi not via cables etc.

I'm currently torn between the Reolink, Eufy and Ezviz. I just can't choose which will be best to help with the above! Many of the comments here say Eufy - if anyone can say whether it would be useful for my situation i'd be really grateful. thank you so much!!

I'm sure this is way too late, but Ezviz is awful. Aside from funding genocide they lock down your camera if you don't update the firmware, the app is trash, and they have the most personal data trackers of any surveillance camera.
