Amazon's own budget doorbell, and the honest comparison point to Ring: the official core blink integration is cloud-only — no live view in HA, just stored clips, motion sensors and battery/WiFi sensors, and a Sync Module Core is effectively mandatory for it to appear in HA at all. Fine as a cheap notification-and-clip doorbell; don't buy it expecting anything local.
