ᐅ Should the signal radiation be adjusted at the access points because of the Netatmo doorbell?

Hello everyone,
I’m torn between getting a Netatmo video doorbell or a Ring.
What bothers me a bit is that the Netatmo only works with Wi-Fi. I’m building a new house and would prefer to run an Ethernet cable (PoE) for it. But okay.
If I install an access point in the entrance area instead of running an Ethernet cable to the doorbell, can I adjust the coverage area? Similar to how some motion sensors or cameras allow you to set the active detection zone.
I don’t want the signal to reach the neighbor’s property but only cover about 2–3 meters (6–10 feet) westward from the entrance area toward the front door in the direction of my neighbor.
Besides that, are there users who have experience with the Netatmo doorbell? 😉
Please share if so.
Thanks a lot and greetings from the white BaWü

Do you have a Doorbird? The 1101 model or the 2nd generation?I have a 2N. I'm not a fan of cloud-based services and try to avoid them whenever possible.Duplex is always good. A friend is currently happy about having a second Cat cable, as it allows him to easily install an ekey fingerprint scanner.

Did you set up an FTP server on a Raspberry Pi to store the videos? Because by default Doorbird only saves images when the doorbell rings, unless you have a subscription, right?To clarify, I don’t have a Doorbird but a 2N. I save everything on a Synology NAS, where all the other cameras are also connected.If you record on an SD card with the Raspberry Pi, you should have a stack of SD cards ready. They don’t last very long under continuous use. If the recordings aren’t particularly important to you, that approach works.
