Doorbell camera - pre recording & no subscription (alien.top)

Hi,

I am looking for a decent doorbell camera with:

No subscription.
Pre-recording locally, 5+ sec duration.
Event recording (locally) total duration of 15+ sec.
Smart detection: people only is ok.

I just got Wyze v2, but just found out it doesn't do pre-recording for the event, nor event recording. Only event snapshot.

Note: What I meant by pre-recording is sometimes called pre-motion recording, or pre-buffer.

It's probably called Frigate of what you are after. Just not sure about being able to speak back (it's doorbell camera after all).
