I suppose it's a tradeoff though.

As I posted earlier I have 4 Nest cams and they work flawlessly. Nest is owned by amazon who I am confident has a good idea about cyber security.
You bring a good point to segregate the devices on a guest network, but I have yet to see evidence that Ring products under Amazon are a major risk. Enough so to say they shouldn’t be considered.
