Hi, anyone have any good self hosted solution for a doorbell camera? What I need is to have the option to look at who is at the door and be able to actuate a lock (relay operated). I have a cheap Chinese brand solution, but it uses an unknown cloud solution and is very unreliable. A phone app would be fine, but if there's a standalone tablet, that's even better.

I have a TP-link Tapo D230S1. It comes with an indoor chime that acts like a hub that has an sd-card slot. The hub supports up to 4 compatible cameras and 64 other devices. It's also pretty affordable and easy to set up. It is however battery only, but it lasts for several months between charges.

I don't know of any smart doorbells that can also open doors. Maybe you could use a shelly relay or something similar?
