Strengths, weaknesses and who each model is really suited to.
Best complete solution without running costs: all features subscription-free, 1:1 field of view (sees the parcel on the ground), dual-band Wi-Fi 2.4 + 5 GHz, local storage on microSD. Person, vehicle and parcel detection. microSD not included.
The only doorbell with a true dual camera (door + ground for parcels). 8 GB of internal storage is enough for about 90 days of recordings. Quick-release battery swappable without dismounting. Colour night vision via dual light. Alexa/Google, no HomeKit.
Best value for money: chime (indoor bell module H200) included, AI detection free, IP64 waterproof, colour night vision with spotlight. microSD slot up to 512 GB.
Torn between two specific models? Here is the direct comparison:
Models with local storage on microSD or a base station, for example from Reolink, Eufy or TP-Link Tapo. Ring & Co. show only the live image without a subscription, but no recordings.
Battery models need no mains or bell connection and are screwed or glued on with a small bracket. It works entirely without drilling with strong mounting tape on smooth, clean surfaces.
Depending on model, locally on a microSD card or base station, or in the manufacturer's cloud (often subscription-based). For privacy and to avoid running costs, local storage is the better choice.
