Ring is a horrid idea.
Wireless cameras aren't. But you really should have each camera incorporate its own Trusted Platform Module and have its communications with the controlling server be encrypted in both directions.
None of the public commercial, consumer, systems are a good idea. For example, Ring routes everything from the camera through Amazon's systems and then feeds it to you (and the Ring hardware isn't particularly secure, nor are most peoples home WiFi networks). Note that Amazon is the actual owner of all of those recordings and they count as business records and are thus subject to subpoena without your necessarily being aware.
Seriously, if the government (or even a private party in a civil suit) sees that you have a Ring system then they will just subpoena Amazon for all of their records related to you and Amazon will hand them over without hesitation. Going through a divorce and think your spouse cheated on you with someone who has a Ring system? Well you can subpoena that other individuals Ring records to see if you can find your spouse visiting them (as just one of the many, many, potential issues).
If you want a smart home (of any real description) then you need to set up your own server at home to manage it, use hardware that talks with that server without going through third party systems, and is probably open source. It's not actually that expensive to hire someone to make a custom app for you to manage all of your smart home systems or to pay an IT person to do the initial set up.
Much more expensive than buying Ring but then you aren't giving Amazon (or Google) eyes and ears inside your home.
