You will have way more functionality with real cameras than Ring lol. And not be dependent on the cloud LOL.
Most of the turret style cameras that are Dahua OEM have a mic.
Two-way audio is limited to a few models, but it is more walkie-talkie like and not true two way talk. There will be a lag. Most that get two-way talk cameras end up never using that feature.
Or you can add external mic and speaker for better two-way talk.
Andy @EMPIRETECANDY is a trusted vendor here and here is a link to his Amazon store where you can see the cameras he sells, which are Dahua without the Dahua logo (so you save big bucks!).
But more importantly, is once you get away from consumer grade cameras, you need to get cameras with the correct focal length for the area you want to IDENTIFY. That is a difference between someone posting on Nextdoor a horrible image of someone out at the street from their Ring doorbell versus a real camera made to cover that distance.

The Importance of Focal Length over MP in camera selection
At the urging of several folks here, I created a thread to show the importance of focal length and how focal length can be more important than megapixels (MP). I mentioned some of this in the post regarding The Hookup’s latest video demonstrating different cameras, including one sold from a...

Indoor or outdoor?Trying to dump ring and build similar functionality - ideally looking for a camera that will also (but not necessarily) work with blue iris.
Any suggestions welcome. Trying to avoid THE CLOUD
