Doorbell Camera

I know this is probably hard to find but are there any decent doorbell cameras that don't have a subscription?

Ring used to have free camera notifications for movement outside but they require a subscription to see now.

I've used EUFY previously for indoors and was solid and I see it came up when I asked for recommendations
