    From the listing:

    Answer your door from anywhere in the world with this remote viewing Video Doorbell.

    So I assume you’re not expected to self-host this. Which means they have to run and maintain servers. And $16/person ain’t covering the cost of this device + servers indefinitely.

      It’s a rebranded Tuya doorbell. So there aren’t any subscriptions, though you will be giving them all your data.

      any chance this can be done through your router/modem, where your phone app connects to external ip of router and is the “server end point” for your doorbell?

        I mean it’s certainly possible, it’s just a matter of whether the doorbell firmware/software will support it. And the answer is almost always no.
