Wouldn't it be more useful, not to mention less prone to falsely inflaming your fear and still being respectful of your fellow man, to put security cameras and motion detectors inside your home instead?

By then it's a bit too late no? Sure you might be able to use it to arrest them, but they've already gotten inside your house and done whatever it is they plan to do - whether that's simply take your stuff, or harm your family.

I don't see how an external camera changes that, really. By the time you've been notified, called the cops, and the cops arrive, the intruders will almost certainly be gone anyway.

We have that as well - but the Ring was by far the cheapest of these and the most seamless to install.
