EUFY has some good ones and the S330 is maybe a year or so old so it might be on a good sale now. It has built in local storage (not to an NVR) but definitely have a look at those. Hopefully this helps
 
I have tried the Laview, amcrest ad410 and now the Unifi G4 Pro.

Ad410 is a great camera and I am going to mount it to my back door now that I have replaced it with the G4 PRO. I just wanted the additional feature set of the G4 doorbell. The fingerprint reader and NFC is so nice when paired with Home Assistant and smart door lock. The camera itself is higher resolution and adds a package camera, wider angle and more FPS. Night vision is about the Same as the Ad410.

In addition to the aforementioned parameters, I am looking for a good doorbell camera that I can tie into Blue Iris via ONVIF (continuous recording). Best resolution possible. What would people recommend.
 
I’m partial to the Lorex DB cams mostly because I live in a hot tropical environment and white finishes tend to absorb less heat.


One can pick them at half off during black Friday or Cyber Monday
