Bought a Ring 2 during Prime Day, but going to either send it back or flip it on eBay. Hadn't opened it yet to install, and not going to after the fiasco with Ring apparently just letting police departments access Ring data if they serve a "valid and binding ... [arstechnica.com], and it's still not clear that this means they require it be a warrant, and their wording gives little faith in that.
I'm fine with turning camera recordings over the police when it's needed, if it's them coming to me to ask for it and my choice (short of a warrant). I'm not so fine with some third party company doing it without it being a matter of an actual properly executed search warrant. That's before getting into their "Neighbors" program and all the police data sharing with that. Ring's handling of all of this has been super sub par and I have zero desire to deal with particularly paying them monthly for that now.

Edit: Install was painless (15 mins). Didn't turn off the breaker - just be careful and don't touch the wires. Added account for wife. Only issue is that the time stamp on the live stream is wrong. Anker Forums say to reformat storage but that didn't work. I'm fine that it doesn't have integrations/api because it does a good job of eliminating false positives. Can't really find a use case where I'd want to adjust settings, other than turning off if you have a party, but the UI has a "mute for x mins/hours" so that makes more sense.
It's ankers home security brand. This is a good review of it https://youtu.be/w3iMKMZXoSQ
