There’s existing two wire Ethernet PoE converters that get you 60Mb and power over a doorbell wire.
This technology could just come built into these cameras which would be the responsible thing to do.

This is a pretty big box: https://www.doorbird.com/downloads/datasheet_a1071_it.pd https://www.doorbird.com/downloads/datasheet_a1071_it.pd It’s expensive, not weatherproof, and hard to order. Same for the one made by 2N. These both recycle old DSL technology I believe. How difficult it is to install also depends on how your doorbell circuit is wired. Mine goes from a transformer in my basement to a switch on my door and from there to two chimes with a junction hidden somewhere. For these converters to work you need a straight run end to end.
