    Is there no way to check the doorbell video locally?

    An Amazon employee misconfigures something and now your doorbell doesn’t work

        It mentions push notifications and emails, so I guess they must require an account, or can you configure them to use SMTP directly, as with the Amcrest Pro cameras?

      I don’t have one (because of that point), so I don’t know…

      Presumably the app and doorbell are hardcoded to go to an AWS URL (so it’s “easier” for consumers), but in theory the data’s all on your wifi.
