Ring doorbell alternatives (only camera or plus mic and speakers) + Small Size? (self.privacy)

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

Libre Software (Obviously) + End-to-End Encryption

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

I can't remotely see if an important package was delivered with a regular doorbell.

If that is a big problem, one alternative is to get a post office box.

That's seems like a good idea, considering the plethora of videos online of packages being stolen with an obvious camera watching the thieves.

I also can't see who took my package with a regular doorbell. But apparently having security cameras on your property is dystopian surveillance.

Having security cameras that malicious businesses sell so they can scrape your data and share video with the police without your informed consent is a dystopian nightmare.

Having your own security system that is only accessed by you and those you intentionally share it with is not.
