I had the same problem: Debian host + official Jellyfin Docker image, all set up according to the official guide, but it would fail to transcode anything.

There was no relevant information about what was wrong in the logs so what I did was:

• Copy the ffmpeg command from the logs.
• docker exec -it into the Jellyfin container.
• run the same ffmpeg command manually so I could see the error directly.

Long story short, because the Nvidia toolkit uses the driver/libraries from the host, the error was that I was missing the library libnvidia-encode1 on the host. After installing that, everything works as it should.

No idea how it compares to Ring, but my wife is a severe technophobe and she had no issues or complaints with Protect. We only have one doorbell + one camera connected to a CloudKey+ though, so your mileage may vary.

Motion detection works reasonably well as far as I can tell, with person, vehicle and animal detection too.

Regarding the doorbell, one option you have is to try finding a second-hand Unifi G4 Doorbell (non-pro). It can be wired with only the two wires you already have. Just make sure you have relatively good 5GHz WiFi reception near your front door, because the 2.4GHz antennas on this model are notably bad.
