Maybe there have been improvements in later generations of the unit. I have regular hard-wired cameras.
The ring doorbell, or any camera, isn’t going to stop a burglary but it might get the perps caught. And, through the plea bargain process, maybe get some of your stuff back.

Villagers generally do not have a tough time paying for what they want. Go out to dinner one less time a month to pay for the security monitoring. No problem.
Arm the system anytime you leave!
I want burglars kept out of my house! The video doorbell will not do that. A camera system will not do that. A Smith & Wesson will not do that when I am away. Best chance is the VERY LOUD alarm and the burglar knowing the Sheriff will arrive very soon.
