  Yes, it seems my last and only solution (besides returning these things) is to call Customer Service. Thx for the reply.

  EDIT - Called Ring Customer Service and they were very helpful. We went through my router settings and found that the firewall had to be temporarily turned off in order for the cameras to update during the set-up process. Additionally, the router's firewall setting, which was set to 'high', had to be lowered in order to get a live view picture. I would say lowering your firewall settings would be a personal decision based on your comfort level and system knowledge.
