Interesting that you set out your requirements but didn't specify that you wanted to look at videos of people that rang your doorbell a while ago. I was put off by the £30 per year to watch these old recordings, then realised that I'm really not interested in seeing who I missed. I built that facility years ago using HomeSeer and an IP camera, but looked at it maybe once per year?
So Ring is offering something we don't really need, at an optional £30 per year, but gives us the stuff we really want, like live streaming, remote answer, a remote chime and the ability to speak to the caller from anywhere in the world, at no additional cost. If you'd really wanted to record video, you'd have put it on your requirements
