Ring is battery powered, with a battery life of 4 weeks.
It may not be obvious to someone not experienced in the design of battery-powered electronics, but that much battery life from a device with wifi and streaming video is very impressive - they must be making extremely good use of low-power sleep modes on their CPU, radio and camera.
Being battery powered means it can be self-installed, even by people who don't know a serial terminal from a screw terminal.
