I wonder why they chose not to integrate HomeKit Secure Video into their new wired doorbell. Maybe to force you to purchase their subscription plan? Either way, my search for a good vertical view HKSV continues!

    It needs a battery backup. Sometimes when the power goes out briefly, it doesn’t boot up again. In the winter, this could be disastrous if you aren’t home. I worry when on vacation and constantly check the temp at home.

      Mine doesn’t always reconnect to WiFi but has always booted up after a power outage. It could use some improvement to retry WiFi connection after some time. Seems on my setup that the ecobee boots faster than my Orbi router.
