Budget google home compatible ip camera and doorbell?

Hi all,

As Nest and Ring cameras are extortionate I'd like to see if any of the cheaper options out there work anywhere near as well? Google list compatible camera brands and some can be found on Aliexpress etc. For around £30. I considered those that work with Tuya or similar maybe.
I don't know if you get features such as asking to see the camera or if it comes up when someone comes to the door and presses the doorbell?

I have a Google nest hub and chromecast.

If anyone has had any experience with cheaper doorbells and outdoor cameras I'd be interested to know.

I wanted to get them on rechargeable batteries too rather than wired in. I was considering the small standalone outdoor ip cameras that you could fix to s fence post or something.
