Powerless Video Event History: No
Battery Life: 570 days
Wired power: Optional — The doorbell normally runs on its own battery, but it has low-voltage screw terminals on the back and can be wired to the indoor monitor with bell wire for continuous power. An optional solar panel is sold separately. The indoor monitor is always mains powered (100 to 220V AC).

Rechargeable battery: Yes — Built-in 5000mAh rechargeable battery, recharged over USB-C (5V/2A).

Matter Support: No — The doorbell itself is not exposed over Matter. The monitor is certified as a Matter bridge, but what it publishes to a Matter fabric is a paired SwitchBot lock, not the camera or the doorbell press.
5 GHz Wi-Fi: No — The official spec sheet lists 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only.
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi: Yes — IEEE 802.11 b/g/n on 2.4GHz, plus Bluetooth 5.0 for setup and the local link.
RTSP: Yes — RTSP is supported and is how SwitchBot documents the Home Assistant path. The stream is published on events rather than kept open, to protect battery life.

Chime included: Yes — The 4.3 inch indoor monitor ships in the box and is the chime, rated 100dB. It also acts as a Wi-Fi relay for the doorbell.
Voice changing: No

Storage: No — There is no built-in flash. The 4GB card that ships with the kit is a removable microSD card.

Zigbee coordinator: No
Matter bridge: Yes
Home Assistant: Yes
Apple Home: No — Apple Home is not supported: the doorbell camera is not a HomeKit accessory and the Matter bridge in the monitor only carries a SwitchBot lock, not the camera.

Thread Border Router: No
Ethernet: No
