Doorbell cameras are tricky there. They're designed for the lowest common denominator and expect you to use the existing wiring for power, but nothing else. No PoE connections for that.

My other cameras are PoE, though. Madness not to.

    I use a reolink poe doorbell camera. It's a bitch to replace your doorbell wire with Ethernet but it's really worth it for the zero lag and camera still working during a power outage because my server is on a UPS. plus the wires can be used for a traditional doorbell if I sell the house, I just pick a pair and power them.
