Ok, but then how is that relevant to the topic? Folks in this thread are complaining that Ring wants to gobble up all the user data for services that could be offered without a cloud connection (including remote video watching). The reasons, as far as I can tell, are that (1) it's a bit cheaper through the cloud because of economies of scale and (2) Ring makes money off the data. It is not because it unavoidably requires technical sophistication/effort by the user. Do you disagree?
