Need at least the camera, if not that plus a microphone and speakers, not the lock or bell.
Libre Software (Obviously) + End-to-End Encryption
Small and easy to hide, so the camera isn’t stolen, attacked or bypassed.
Reolink has a local encrypted video doorbell.
You want Reolink + Frigate
Unpopular opinion: an actual doorbell.
That won’t record attackers.
add a vandal proof camera on top
That’s my question.
Ops. Missed the actual details. Sorry. How small you want it to be? Any dimentions?
No specific measurements.

Something like this which has a privacy mode where it rotates and hides could be good.
Vandal proof camera is easy to find, but with privacy mode? I don’t think such product exist yet.
I literally just linked an example.
You don’t need a doorbell camera, get a regular camera instead.
You need an app which will receive events from a doorbell via a server to receive data to interface with the app. Both of those things need to be owned and operated by someone to be approved for use on the app store. That’s why a custom open source of doorbell as you envision it doesn’t exist and never will.
I use Eufy doorbells, locks, and cameras. I realize they are a Chinese company, but that is almost unavoidable until the US gets back to actually manufacturing tech.
The reason I like Eufy is the local storage and no required subscription fees.
I use eufy as well. The only issue they recently had was that thumbnails were stored in their cloud if you chose to enable them on notifications. If you just select the text option, none of the footage is stored online and everything is local.
Isn’t this the company that not only got busted for uploading continuous footage but got caught publicly exposing that footage to anyone with VLC?
I if I am remembering correctly you should throw away the device immediately
Harder for China than the US to attack in the US.
Yes, looks good, thank you!
Will that run on a Pi? Can it shut off when I’m at home?
Frigate can definitely run on a Pi. It can also integrate with Home Assistant which can run on a Pi. As for turning itself off when you’re home, I don’t know.
Best answer, thanks again!
You’re welcome. I’m glad I could help out
