Much like rollout companies using Onforce, Work Market, or the like they will attempt to hit multiple sites in single day. Doing so will make it more economical by minimizing the number of initial daily startup costs. While Geekatoo shows the $130 and $99 price the volume that Ring has (or hopes to have) is likely negotiated to reflect this. The public facing price is likely for one-off installs. While I still think the price is very low, there may be some economy of scale involved.

Wow. That is one pricey marketing campaign - or is it user acquisition model?

Would adding a small rechargeable battery to the unit to trickle charge during the day,from the unmodified doorbell power, and thereby supplement the power at night, cost more than $25?
