Ring doorbell system:
My wife ordered one (doorbell + chime). We don't use any Alexa devices, because evil. All we really need to use the Ring for is standard doorbell stuff, but also being notified of doorbell when we're working in shed office. What, if any, of the various concerns regarding Amazon home stuff would still apply? We'd be using it with the chime device for standard use, and the app when we're in the garden
For this you could use Eufy, that's what we have. No subscription, i comes with a chime that is also local storage. I get a notification when the doorbell is rung which means I can be in the shed and answer it. It will record people coming into our front yard which I can access from phone.
