There is a limit what you can do with regards to zoom as it will be digital zoom (ie done is software).  Optical zoom is preferred but is more expensive to implement and would likely mean a larger product.  Also Ring isn't really a CCTV system as such in the traditional sense.  Its an alert based system designed to alert you to motion etc.  Continuous streaming would have an impact on internet speeds up and down as the video is accessed via the cloud not direct to the device like an NVR.

I was surprised that for something that is supposedly recording at 1080p resolution, even the slightest amount of zoom leads to immediate pixelation.  Even the compressed image in the small screen has less that optimal resolution.  It is even hard to make out logos/etc. on a t shirt someone is wearing by your door.
