The latest WiFi camera has intercom and picture accessible from a PC or Cell phone, which I bought from TakeALot for under R800
The problem here is that there is no buzzer connection on the camera, and the camera does need a supply to operate.
The Buzzer could be a wireless one with 2 receivers.

I have learnt that when it comes to wifi outside, the wind seems to "blow" the signal all over the place.
I use to install wifi smart lamps in the garden, after being burnt too many times, i no longer trust outdoor wifi.
I must also mention that we have been supplying a lot of wifi smart lamps, linking to wifi, grouping and scheduling, these things are not worth the hassle. I threw the one out my bed side lamp this week, after it started flashing. If you like tinkering with home assistant constantly having to reset, then its for you. I just want to switch on the light and it must work when I need it

My one works very well, it has a good SMPS supplying the electronics. Maybe the PSUs in the devices you use are sensitive to power variations or spikes. Again to make the product cheap, they use R/C components to reduce the supply voltage to the electronics, and then a spike comes along and overloads the electronics because the reactance of the capacitor changes.
