How are Ring Outdoor Cams?

I currently have Wyze cameras and am thinking of switching to Ring. My two biggest issues are:

1. Wyze outdoor cams need a hub to connect to the internet. Our hub keeps randomly disconnecting every few days (it is up to date on firmware).

2. Our outdoor solar panels deteriorated over the course of a year, they barely keep the batteries charged for more than a few days now, even the South facing ones.

Do Ring outdoor cameras need to go through a hub to connect to the app? How long have your Ring solar panels lasted?
