Hey all I’m looking for recommendations for a video doorbell that doesn’t need an internet connection.

Preferably something that is WiFi and would work with Frigate?

I have the Aqara G4 doorbell and supposedly it works with WiFi and Frigate (via go2rtc), but I haven’t set up Frigate and I haven’t verified that it fully functions with the internet turned off. It uses Homekit but supposedly will receive Matter via a software update.
