After reading up about the best poe doorbell camera I purchased the reolink and as everyone states above. I'm hugely disappointed. I think reolink thinks a video doorbell is literally just camera with a button on it.

I had an old August camera for about 5 years and I'm now really disappointed that I removed the cabling To go poe, sure the reolink video quality is much better but as far as smart video doorbell features there is nothing. Hopefully I can use home assistant to get myself some actionable notifications at a minimum and I won't hold my breath for proper video calling features any time soon.

Wish I found this thread earlier as my experience has been very underwhelming.
