My parents wanted a video doorbell after a neighbor had a break-in. I set them up with a Unifi doorbell and their least expensive recording/console device - the upfront cost is high (~$500, plus more time configuring and researching everything)
But now that it is set up there are no subscription fees, the data is local, and I can manage the cameras and their Unifi accounts remotely if they need anything. It’s been a great experience and I’m planning to gradually add one or two additional cameras.

Unfortunately there’s rarely a perfect solution. Purely local is great and comes with its own tradeoffs.
