- Because having a video doorbell is incredible and the vast majority of people don't have the technical know-how for a DIY solution nor the funds for a professional one.
  I'll stick to HA and Amcrest myself but the pros outweigh the cons for anyone who fits the above description
  
  Video doorbell that's videos are shared with everyone from police to your crazy aunt no questions asked
  
  My mom's in the market for one of these door bells. Would you recommend an Amcrest for someone with no tech know-how?
Funny, the cost of my dvr security still costs me 0 per month.
- Yeah same. Although we use Lorex which I think is proprietary and connects to their servers but if something ever happens, I can probably hook it into my nas and run it there.
  
  I had a lorex and thought the same until my Internet went out and I wasn't able to access the cameras I'm my own house even though the lan was up and running.
- Lemme check the bill for my HA install...
I inherited a Ring but never paid the subscription because subscribing to a doorbell is ridiculous. Recently replaced it with a Reolink PoE and it’s so much better.
