Want to replace my Amcrest Video Doorbell..

[Sammy2]

I'm tired of the lagginess of my Amcrest 410 doorbell. Generally whoever pushes the button is long gone by the time it connects in the native app. It works okay in BlueIris but there's no two-way communication.

I started here, of course, and first thing I saw is the ReoLink PoE but I don't want to run Ethernet to my front door and have a solid WiFi with Ubiquiti so I'm okay with going with WiFi. Is the ReoLink WiFi faster and better than the Amcrest? I don't want to replace like for like but want to upgrade! One thing I notice is it is compatible with Home Assistant which is a big plus for me!

Is there anything else I should consider?

For many, the Reolink is the best option of doorbells right now.

Suppose I will get one then.

BTW, it works in BlueIris, right?

Also, the black is 3:4 and the white is 4:3 aspect ratio with the white also having "Package Detection" whatever that is. I'm not a fan of white but maybe it is what I need?

My current Amcrest field of view for reference. This camera has a 164° viewing angle whereas the ReoLink is 135° for the Black and only 100° for the White.

@sammyIammy2 iirc Reolink POE version of the camera ... do double check on this
