Need at least the camera, if not that plus a microphone and speakers, not the lock or bell.

Small and easy to hide, so the camera isn’t stolen, attacked or bypassed.

You don’t need a doorbell camera, get a regular camera instead.
You need an app which will receive events from a doorbell via a server to receive data to interface with the app. Both of those things need to be owned and operated by someone to be approved for use on the app store. That’s why a custom open source of doorbell as you envision it doesn’t exist and never will.
Is this a AI repost from reddit bot?

Wow, that’s something new.
Or just someone copy pasting their old comments
No lol,i just copied solution of other person,i just thought for myself that his solution make sense.
I guess, but not all app stores have the same restrictions… And there are open source ways of doing this, software anyway, maybe not with hardware.
How did you happen to find that?
Autistic absolute recall.
Simple Google search of the original question, because I want to do the same thing, or at least self host a home security system.
I agree mostly except the app. Don’t pretent Home Assistant doesn’t have an app.
