A tall aspect ratio shows the parcel on the step, not just the face · review
The second-generation battery doorbell: the same square head-to-toe frame with HDR added, and detection that Reolink states runs locally on the device rather than in a cloud service.
The conclusion The best doorbell in this hub. HDR fixes the commonest complaint, and local detection means nothing has to leave the house.
Two changes separate this from the first-generation doorbell below it, and both address things that actually go wrong rather than adding figures.
Point a camera at a doorstep and it is often pointed at the sky behind it. A sensor without HDR exposes for the bright background and renders the caller as a silhouette — the single most common complaint about inexpensive doorbells, and one no amount of resolution fixes. HDR exposes for both, and the face comes back.
If your door faces east, west or open sky, this is the specification that decides whether the footage is usable.
Reolink states person, vehicle, pet and parcel detection processed locally on the device. Three consequences: it is faster, it still works when the broadband is down, and no clip has to be uploaded to a server to decide whether it contains a person.
For anybody uncomfortable with doorstep footage being processed elsewhere — a reasonable thing to be uncomfortable about — that is the most important line on the specification sheet.
Which means it sleeps, and the seconds before somebody rings are not recorded. Wired to 8–24 V doorbell wiring it charges its battery but stays in battery mode; the Tapo D235, wired the same way, states that it records those seconds. That remains the one thing this format cannot do.
A bright doorway, and an owner who would rather the analysis happened on their own wall.

That the decision "this is a person" is made on the doorbell rather than by uploading the clip to a server. It is faster, it works when the internet is down, and nothing has to leave the house to be classified. For anybody uneasy about doorstep footage being processed elsewhere, it is the single most relevant specification here.
Because of where doorbells point. A caller standing against a bright sky or a white wall is a silhouette on a camera without HDR — the sensor exposes for the background and the face goes black. HDR is what turns that shape back into a person, and it is the commonest complaint about cheaper doorbells.
HDR and local detection are the two differences that matter, and both address real failures rather than adding numbers. If your door faces a bright aspect, HDR alone justifies it.

2.5K 5MP · 166° wide · night vision · two-way audio with voice change · chime included
A 5 MP doorbell on a 166° lens with a chime in the box and a voice changer on the two-way audio. BOIFUN states human detection and Alexa compatibility through its own skill.
Best for: A house where the doorbell must be audible indoors without buying a separate chime.
2K 4MP · 1:1 head-to-toe aspect · dual-band Wi-Fi · card to 256 GB · two charging methods
Reolink uses a square 1:1 sensor rather than a widescreen one, so the frame is as tall as it is wide and shows a caller head to toe with the step included. Local storage to 256 GB, with no subscription required.
Best for: A doorstep where the parcel matters as much as the caller.
≈ $120
