Choose a Reolink doorbell that fits your existing setup. Battery-powered models offer flexible placement, wired WiFi models can use existing doorbell wiring, and PoE models provide stable power and network connectivity through one Ethernet cable.
Save recordings to a microSD card, Reolink NVR, or Reolink Home Hub, depending on the model. Local storage gives you greater control over your footage without relying entirely on paid cloud storage.
Reolink doorbell cameras provide clear video, smart visitor alerts, two-way audio, and wide or head-to-toe views to help you monitor visitors, deliveries, and activity around your entrance day and night.
The best Reolink doorbell camera depends on your installation and recording needs:
- Best overall Reolink doorbell: Reolink Video Doorbell 2nd Gen offers battery or wired power, a 2K head-to-toe view, package detection, and local storage.
- Best WiFi doorbell camera for 24/7 recording: Reolink Video Doorbell WiFi supports dual-band WiFi and continuous recording with compatible local storage.
- Best for stable wired connectivity: Reolink Video Doorbell PoE uses one Ethernet cable for both power and data, making it suitable for reliable, always-on front-door monitoring.
A video doorbell is a smart security camera integrated into a doorbell. It allows you to monitor your front door, receive instant motion and package alerts, and talk to visitors in real time via a mobile app.
The terms video doorbell and doorbell camera are often used interchangeably. In most cases, both refer to a smart doorbell with a built-in camera, live viewing, motion detection, two-way audio, and video recording.
Some manufacturers use "doorbell camera" as a broader term that includes battery, WiFi, and wired models, while "video doorbell" typically emphasizes the smart monitoring features.
The best video doorbell depends on your home and installation requirements. Wireless battery-powered models are ideal for flexible installation, while wired WiFi or PoE models are better for continuous power and supported 24/7 recording. Look for features such as local storage, smart person and package detection, two-way audio, clear night vision, and a head-to-toe view for complete front-door coverage.
A Wi-Fi doorbell connects to your home wireless network to stream live video, send alerts, and enable two-way audio on your phone. Footage is saved locally (microSD card, Home Hub, or NVR) or via cloud storage.
No. Many smart doorbells operate subscription-free. Brands like Reolink allow you to store video locally on a microSD card, Home Hub, or NVR—giving you live view, motion alerts, and two-way audio without monthly fees.
Battery-powered doorbell cameras typically record when motion is detected to maximize battery life. Wired WiFi and PoE models can support continuous 24/7 recording when connected to compatible local storage such as an NVR.
Yes, but with limited features. Without Wi-Fi, a doorbell camera with local storage can still detect motion and record footage. However, you will lose remote live viewing, push notifications, and two-way audio.
Check visitors in real time and decide whether to answer the door through the Reolink App.
Receive alerts when someone approaches your doorstep and review recorded footage if a package goes missing.
Talk to delivery drivers, guests, or family members remotely using two-way audio and live view.
Know when children arrive home from school or when elderly family members receive visitors.
Save footage locally to review suspicious activity, unexpected visitors, or incidents around your entrance without paying mandatory monthly fees.
