Admittedly, video doorbells are great, forgot to explain earlier that we do have one now, I just wasn't fond of the Ring we tested. When we moved, the apartment came with a video doorbells, but it's not via Wi-Fi but wire, so the video is there instantly, and I can also talk to the person if needed. But it doesn't store any images, if that is important to anyone.
I've an Echo Show that i can use as a security cam, sort of - when I'm away I can use my phone to open a video stream and check in on my home - but it wouldn't alert me to movement or call the police or anything. Still handy, I have it angled at my door so I could check on it.
