Expertise needed to install Retrofit kit?

I have a conventional wired security system and am considering Ring because of the Retrofit capability. They say DIY is possible. I have done a fair amount of electrical work and am familiar with household electrical code and familiar with using a multimeter to measure AC/DC voltages, resistance, and current. I have replaced and added GFCI outlets and standard outlets and switches in existing circuits, determined the circuit load to make sure it was safe to do so. (I have not added new circuits.) I understand middle-of-run and end-of-run wiring, the difference between hot, neutral and ground, and so forth. I have not done any alarm system wiring. I have also done some circuit-board type wiring.What instructions are provided with this kit? What is the assumed level of expertise of these instructions? What expertise is really necessary? Do I need to be an licensed electrician, or am I set if I understand the correct way to make connections, test for continuity and shorts, and test voltage and current?Jazzer
