I set this camera up so that I could use it to monitor  my entry hallway.  It was easy enough to set up, but lacks a battery so a dedicated, cabled power source is required.  This isn't too much of an inconvenience for the area, but would get cumbersome if I were planning on expanding use to other areas of my home.  If you are already set up on the Ring platform, this would be a great addition, but I don't think I will be swapping from my current platform.
