From the listing:
So I assume you're not expected to self-host this. Which means they have to run and maintain servers. And $16/person ain't covering the cost of this device + servers indefinitely.
any chance this can be done through your router/modem, where your phone app connects to external ip of router and is the "server end point" for your doorbell?
In general yes, but that's also how you easily end up on sites like insecam and shodan.
