serious question: what would be a better way to store the wifi credentials protected against the device theft?

[halviti]

A base module inside the house instead of using the wireless directly. The doorbell would talk to the base module over some type of encrypted connection using a separate wireless network or bluetooth, and the module in the house would be plugged into the network, either over ethernet or wireless. The connection between the base and the doorbell would be configured to only allow for the voice/video/doorbell functions and that's it.

do what every lock do for the last century: do not leave screws outside.

further, I'd have one module inside the door, a little wire just connecting a dumb button to the outside.

granted installation would require a single drill hole, but it wouldn't be a huge fail like this.

But the module seems to have a camera.

Make it two drill holes then.

Or just fit the camera in the bell push housing.

Wipe the memory when the back-plate is removed? It certainly isn't perfect but will make it harder.

Host its own wifi, with small preconfigured bridge device to plug into spare ethernet port of router?

Unfortunately if the unit isn't wired in, you have to remove it for charging meaning redoing setup when the battery gets low.

Bluetooth to wifi bridge.
