Are there any reasonable POE doorbell cameras that record 24/7, work with blue iris, come in black color, and have package detection? Reolink doesn't seem interested in ever updating their POE doorbell camera.

Honestly, I would try to stick with Reolink and add a second camera pointed downward for package detection; otherwise your next option would be to invest in Ubiquiti's offering and get their G6 Entry Standard which is pricey overall especially if you don't have anything Ubiquiti to begin with
 
Two months later you probably came up with a solution. But since I see @Arjun just responded I thought I'd add to this thread. Wasn't sure if you specifically needed BI with AI to identify someone carrying a package or you just want to see that a package was sitting at your door. This is what I implemented. Everyone of these cams sends me a push notification as the delivery person hits a trip wire.

And this is what you might expect with a ceiling mounted cam. Your ceiling appears to be 9.5 - 10 feet up while mine is 12 feet therefore your view would be even better.

Frankly, this is the way to go
Sucks that some people have homes over a 100 years old :rofl: and thus can't implement something like this unless they are willing to do lots of excavating (metaphorically-speaking) lol
