  There's no way to use a DVR with the Ring system. Also be aware that Ring only has cloud based storage. There's usually a trial period but after that you need a plan to see recorded videos.

  @edgarhsnell Another point to consider is that Ring video cams do not stream 24/7. They video record primarily when Motion is detected. Then, they record for a short amount of time (approx. 30 seconds). If there is more detected motion, they will record another segment over and over again. You can manually initiate a "Live View" via an App or on your PC, but that recording will terminate if you close the App or it reaches the maximum duration (which I believe is around a 10-minute segment). These videos stay on the Ring Cloud for 60 days and then are deleted automatically. Ring cloud storage Plans are $30 annually for the "Basic Plan" (for one cam) and their annual $100 "Plus Plan" (for 2 or more ring devices). You can download the video files onto your personal storage, before they are deleted. There is a new Snapshot feature which takes a "still' pictures at a set interval. Most externally (plug-in) powered Ring cams have Snapshot intervals of: "Every 30-seonds", or "Every 1 Minute", or "Every 3 minutes." Most battery powered cams have Snapshot intervals of: "Every 5 minutes", or "Every 14 minutes", or "Every 1 hour." When viewed, it's like a time-lapse video comprised of all the still pics. These Snapshots stay on the Ring Cloud for 7 days before deletion. They too can also be download in '15-minute' batches. Hope this helps you out. :)
