    Wish I had never got one. In my ignorance I thought I could stream it like any other camera, just needed to know the protocol. They make one like that?

      There are a few options on self-hosting doorbell cameras.

      Full self-hosting a Ring doorbell is a bit of a bother and you might as well go another route and have a POE security system with storage. You can’t easily divorce your Ring from the company’s control.
