Sure you can refuse providing images - if they involve you. It's a clear cut case of self incrimination. With Ring, you are inviting a stranger onto your property to record non stop footage, and they can never refuse any disclosure.
Why would you be cautious of that, if you have nothing to hide? Suppose police has an unsubstantiated theory about your actions on a certain date, perhaps after using illegal evidence or false witnesses. They can now use parallel construction to build a case against you by using surveillance data you can't control.
They can even go fishing around the neighborhood until they find a random somebody that was out of the house at that specific time of the night. With an extra bit of circumstantial evidence, your life is derailed.
