Pros
- Reolink cameras without battery models are usually with RTSP/ONVIF that you can use locally.

- Don’t have one myself but Reolink and Ubiquity are two options.
Cons

- I have a reolink and love it but it was very hard to tune it in such a way that I don't get a million notifications. It does have a lot of sensitivity controls so it can be done but it's not super obvious sometimes how best to go about it.
- I’ve recently installed 2 reolink. One is on a gutter in full sunlight the other gets pretty good sunlight most of the day. They don’t get a lot of alerts. Both are 100% most of the time. They do seem to miss some things so I need to may...

For cameras/doorbells, etc. I'd look at Unifi or Reolink. Both are exceptional, both integrate well with HA.
Reolink or Dahua POE camera.
Reolink and Eufy are better, but nothing wrong with the TPlink family of devices.
