Upgrade offline system with doorbell cam?

As my work requires frequent travel, I am seeking recommendations to enhance the security of my two-story, single-family home. Currently, I have a Reolink RLK8-410B4 system in place, with cameras mounted above the second story to cover the entire perimeter. I chose this setup for a couple reasons – I didn’t want to pay for a subscription, I like the idea of having the system disconnected from the Internet and the NVR is in my upstairs office which made running the PoE lines easy. Even if I wanted to connect it to the Internet, my Wifi router and cable are located in a downstairs room and it would be challenging to run a hard line upstairs.

Recently my wife said she wants a Ring-style doorbell or similar on the front and side doors that she can view on her phone. Is there any way to achieve this using other offline options or my existing system? If not, what minimal systems would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
