Apparently Nancy had posted on Nextdoor recently, asking about what camera (Ring etc) to get so that she could watch the wildlife. Someone posted a screenshot somewhere. Too lazy to go looking for it, but I’m sure it is out there if anyone is interested.

My guess it was just for wildlife footage and she didn’t really follow up with all of the rest. She’d lived there a long time and probably was not particularly concerned with security. [/quote]

That tiny camera would not have been for wildlife. Doorbell cameras notoriously distort the view even up close. I’m guessing she was looking to install wildlife cameras. [/quote]

My mom in Tucson uses her front door ring for wildlife viewing all the time.  It was a little bit of a problem because her alarm was gojng off in the middle of night alerting her to someone at the door but it was just a coyote or javelina pr bobcat sniffing around the front entry.  But people also get them to watch the hummingbirds — Nancy had a big property so I bet she got lots of birds and also lots of javelinas rooting for the stuff that falls off the trees.  My mom primarily uses her ring to know whether it is one of us at the door or just a delivery person or animal — she’s not worried about law enforcement purposes so I think would not be super concerned about a long term backup, except she likes to check and see who is eating her flowers.

I'm in Arizona, but up in the Phoenix area, in a suburban area probably a lot like the Catalina Foothills, in that the houses in my area are on an acre+ land. It's not rural but it's definitely not a dense area nor is it walkable to anything. We have trail cameras set up to spy on the javelinas - the ring cameras catch their activity too but like Nancy, we do not have a subscription - it's just not worth the cost, but it's nice to have to see who's at the front door and it will capture wildlife. It's really cool to see the javelinas, but they cause a lot of destruction and we wanted to know when they come and what they're so attracted to in our front yard. [/quote]

The ring subscription is like $50-100 per year. I hope you're not in PV saying it's just unaffordable.[/quote]

Why bother having these things if they start recording over themselves after three hours? Literally pointless.[/quote]

That’s what the subscription is for. Why buy the camera if you don’t intend to use it correctly?[/quote]

It's a shame. You can't insist if she doesn't want it, but I mentioned much earlier these cameras can easily be hacked and used to spy on you.[/quote]

Cool. But why play dumb about not understanding how they work? I would rather have one than not. I know when the mall comes, packages get delivered, when my kids are home, can review activity recorded etc. [/quote]
