I personally like that they aren’t affiliated with a major company like Amazon, particularly since Ring has a history of providing customer camera footage without permission and data breaches. The cameras are wireless and battery powered, for my installation I put them all close to a power source so I don’t have to worry about charging batteries. My cop friend recommended them to me, he uses them on battery and said they are good for 2-3 months on average if you aren’t recording 24/7. I would do it again, it’s nice peace of mind especially when I’m gone.

Hands down the Ring is a better device. We've had the thefts from unlocked vehicles in our area but it has dropped to zero since my neighborhood is LEO, fire and studio "Jabonis" like me.

Every morning the Wife likes to review the footage. Raccoons, deer, cats, rabbits and one skunk who luckily me and the dog have never met in person.

I'm looking at Arlo right now, but wondering why Craigster said Ring is a better device.
