I mean what are the privacy-friendly alternatives? Assume others in this market are equally shady. What is the safe, self-hosted solution where we can monitor CCTV from our phones?

There are plenty, but they're all very DIY and I don't think there are any turnkey solutions that you can just plug in and have work.

I think a better question is... why do we all need this? I get that everyone these days is afraid of everyone and everything, but it's not rational. Very few people actually need a doorbell camera.

And if something actually does happen where you think video evidence might be useful, nine times out of ten the police aren't going to help you anyway.

I personally use unifi doorbell, mostly because I already had dream machine, but AFAIK they have also less expensive options.
