Ring doorbell subscription

Wow, I was considering buying one of these but I had no idea the doorbell would have running costs.

it looks like it’s £2.50 a month or £25 a year. Seems a rip off you can’t even store the video on your own nas

you can opt not to pay subscription and still see live view and talk to them but just doesn't record, I may not bother subscribing.

Thanks. i guess thats something but would prefer if it recorded to a NAS drive or if i opted to pay then cloud. (edited)

My husband has just bought one of these. He had no idea there would be running costs. I don’t think he’s going to bother subscribing and just treat it as a normal doorbell. At least you can talk to the person at the door and tell them where to leave the parcel or scare the hell out of them if they are up to no good! Lol

Has anyone ever found a cheaper subscription. Mine is up for renewal and it's £35 a year now.
