Does the Ring siren automatically shut off after a certain amount of time? Where I live the break ins happen 99 percent on shabbos/Yom tov, so I don't want to disable it then.

While I agree with the reasoning that the camera recording you is lo nicha lei, If it's psik reisha, who cares if it's nicha lei or lo nicha lei? Lo nicha lei is assur midrabannan.
1.  The situation here has no ‘action’ (walking by a camera isn’t considered an action)
2. The ‘action’ done causes a ‘reaction’ which is a drabanan to begin with.
