    So, are there any decent, cheapish wifi doorbells from Aliexpress and the like, anyone has first hand experience with, and can recommend?

    Lot to choose from, but the reviews aren't particularly helpful on these sites. Clearly made up, or pigeon English, or often both!

    I love the idea of a ring doorbell but just a bit pricey for me.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Got one from wish.com.....great job, easy to set up and battery lasts ages before needing recharge. SD card in it too or you can set up cloud storage.
    Only downsides were it's a lot bulkier than the more expensive ones, and it can't be viewed on tv through firestick...just on mobile app.
    So I replaced it with A Ring one due to what I wanted above. Gave the old one to my friend and it's still going strong.

    I have got WiFi doorbells from AliExpress but also from Lidl. The Lidl one was a bit cheaper and better quality, but neither was more than about €7, I recall. The problem with Lidl is the usual one about having to wait for one to turn up.
    At Christmas my wife gave me a WiFi doorbell and camera that runs off an app on my phone. I can see who it is and talk to them.
