Neat. Even w/o PoE already wired up, I guess a Pi Zero can be powered with a regular 12V line that every doorbell uses. Otherwise, getting this to run off batteries with a Pi (and WiFi) would be an exercise in futility - am currently building something with some Zeros, and even at an optimistic 150mA, that'll eat through 3000mA lithium batteries in no time.
I do wonder how the longevity of the case is, though - the case isn't weather-proof (also, its ABS, so I'd argue you can print it on an Ender 3).
I always find that to be one of the most challenging problems for outdoor-projects. If you ever too take a part e.g. a Blink XT (equally spyware, but I gave up at that point), you'd notice some pretty tight tolerances and seals, so that the cameras survive the outdoors. That doesn't seem easily replicated with a $9 box.
Most doorbells in the US are 16volt AC, (from memory so I'm probably off by a bit). While you can power a pi from that, the power supply will be tricky.
