Video intercom for elderly parents

Any recommendations or tips of what to look for when shopping for a video intercom for my elderly parents please? They aren't smart phone users so the popular video doorbells won't work for them. Ideally something as simple to use as possible and even better if wireless to save installation costs.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I think a Ring doorbell and Echo Show would meet their needs. If you have a smartphone you can set it up for them.
Echo Show couldn't be easier to use and would be handy in many other ways as well, such as calling you for a chat (or you them) and helping in an emergency.1 -
What is the purpose?
As Alderbank says a ring doorbell with echo show might work, or nest doorbell with Google hub.0 -
Maybe something like this? Wireless Video Door Phone by Lifemax (lifemaxuk.co.uk)Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

I'd suggest something that has local radio rink from bell to viewer. The Ring/Arlo/Nest type that run via WiFi back to a cloud server can have terrible lag on the voice so you end up speaking over each other which could confuse elderly people.1
