Apparently you have never been the victim of burglary, or worse, had friends who were the victim of an armed home invasion perpetrated by four strangers. Think what you want of me. |
Yup. That’s ridiculous. |
| My neighbor posted a mormon missionary spitting on her house. It was gross but the kid was soooo embarrassed. |
ha that's funny |
| I post deer and foxes walking by. Nice boring neighborhood. |
| I'm just going to leave this here: Police have near routine access to your Amazon Ring doorbells. They have broad warrants that allow them access. If a crime happens within 5 miles of your home, you can be certain the police have access to your doorbell video 24 hours before and after the event. So if you live in a high density area, that is pretty much 24/7. Oh and don't get me started on Amazon dot... Radius is half a mile. |
So what? The police can see how many delivery people came to my door on any given day? |
They are illegal in my state too. If they record what is going on with audio without the consent of the person than it’s a felony and you can face jail time. Not a risk I would take just for a doorbell. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=10&ved=2ahUKEwjNwbOH_6TmAhVCqlkKHdD3BSIQFjAJegQIBBAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fask%2Fquestions%2FTx1OXUJ8ZWUHROA%2Fref%3Dask_sa_saa_al_hza&usg=AOvVaw0tUyCBd-IypNCJaZ9tgs2p |
Aside from that - this is a good thing. The NYPD just announced a partnership with Ring for that very same thing. Catching package thieves and people breaking into homes isn't a bad thing. https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/long-island-police-crack-porch-pirates-amazon-ring/story?id=67489715 Home systems like Ring are also the reason we're solving a lot more domestic murder cases too.

My neighbors don't like our cameras. But, they think our property is theirs. Not too worried about what they think. You don't need ring. You can place cameras with the sound off facing outside from inside the house or mount outside as well. Ring is nice as it has the doorbell feature but plenty of other options. |

+1, good, great to know if something happens that the police can easily help by accessing our camera's if we cannot. |
Pretty sure the police need you to give the video over voluntarily or get a subpoena. The contracts they enter into with Ring just tells them who has the cameras so they don’t need to go door to door looking. |
| Use the Neighbors app. It’s made by Ring, but anyone in a 5 mile radius can see/post. It’s great and everyone is anonymous |
