I'd be shocked if the Ring doorbells were materially more secure. I sit firmly in the "only smart device is my printer and I keep a loaded gun next to it in case it makes a weird noise" camp.

Your printer doesn't make weird noises?

Nothing unexpected or I am not used to

You should probably get a cheap IoT camera to keep an eye on that printer!

And then bug a camera to monitor the first camera

All bets are off if you use unapproved third-party toner cartridges...

not "get", build it with an esp32 & Tasmota (or whatever).

I wonder how I would feel about that, if I was alone at home, and lonely. Would it cheer me that people were reaching out and ringing my doorbell? Or would it make me sad because I would be reminded that there was not a friend ringing at the door?

I'd like my doorbell camera to have a cat detector and a meow detector so when my cats meow at the door, it rings the doorbell. My cats have gps collars and distinctive fur and meows, so it could double check so other cats can't spam me. That way each cat could have its own distinctive ring (like their distinctive meow, amplified).
