Hi,

Does anyone know of a safe and/or user-friendly way to get my Ring Doorbell and cameras in the Home app?

Thanks,
 
+1 for HOOBs.

Hopefully they integrate it with Matter that’s supposed to be rolling out later this year. Amazon and Google are both major players in that along with Apple. Only time will tell and I hope Matter doesn’t convolute the Smart Home space more than it already is.

Does hoobs integration for Ring has any limitation? like does the video notifications on Apple TV or HomePod chime works?.. I assume HomeKit Secure Video doesn't work this right?

All works great apart from as you say, HomeKit Secure Video. You also keep all of the Ring options and features.
 
Another option that I use is homebridge (which I have running on a raspberry pi)
