I am in the process of purchasing a home, and the house that it’s looking like I am likely to buy has a Ring alarm system and camera installed. I like the idea of having burglar alarms on the windows and doors, but I do not want to use Ring. Between their ownership from Amazon and sharing data with the cops, I don’t trust them.

Are there privacy-friendly home security systems out there that don’t require an ongoing subscription? Bonus points if the devices are HomeAssistant compatible.

You could put up your own home assistant compatible window and door sensors and stuff like that, but I'm not sure how it would go about calling the cops. Maybe have an integration with your phone so that if the alarm went off after like 60 seconds, it could automatically make a call to the cops or something? That's a good question.
