Surveillance Camera System vs Ring Video Doorbell Elite

[Rob Denn]

I'm deep into renovating my house for use as a short term rental unit in the upstairs flat.  I'm in a desirable area with heavy foot traffic that's close to a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station.  So I thought I would install surveillance cameras for extra security.  Also, a camera at the front door may help with remote guess check in (along with a keyless door lock).  However, after doing some research, I'm thinking I could achieve the same goals with a Ring Video Doorbell.  The Elite version of the Ring Doorbell can be hardwired and won't rely on wifi or batteries. And it can provide video and 2 way audio (unlike most security cameras which are just video).  Does anyone else use Ring and/or other surveillance cameras or video doorbells?  What has been your experience?
