Recall for some second-generation Ring doorbells: Gizmodo: Your Cop-Friendly Spy Device Could Burst Into Flames.

Notice at https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050949611

Looks like this is for doorbells that have some sort of USB charging port on them, and the problem is if you use screws other than the provided ones; there's some way that they end up potentially puncturing the battery.

Also, despite being owners of 3 Ring products, if there's an off-site video solution that doesn't involve paying a subscription fee to a horrible company, I'm all ears.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
