Arse clowns.
I use Arlo doorbell and the floodlight, both battery operated and only need to connect to WiFi. Pretty good products although the smart notifications can get buggy from time to time.
Battery life on the doorbell is around 5 weeks, floodlight about 8 weeks.
Costs could be cheaper or more expensive than the ring.
If you just have a doorbell it should be cheaper over the year. Gets expensive when you add more cameras.
