Can it be set up to record to local drive or does it go back to the mother ship?

Don't know about Ring, but I use Arlo cameras, and they are to record to an external hard drive that is attached to the base unit. So there are some systems that don't require cloud based service.

Yep. with smartphone/PC software and all for the same price or less and YOU own it not the manufacturer.

And if you're burglarized, and they take the base unit, it defeats the purpose of the security system.
