I guess it depends where you live.
If you live in a quiet little cul-de-sac, where nothing ever happens, having somebody stand on your site reporting on your neighbours' movements might seem —to your neighbours— slightly invasive.
- falcor84 6y agoI'm not sure about other doorbell cameras, but the basic* Ring camera should only trigger the video recording on proximity detection, so that's like a very near-sighted doorman, who only notices the very nosy neighbors. *I understand that some more expensive versions do take continuous low-energy recordings, and I do find that somewhat disturbing.
- oliwarner 6y agoThe part that particularly bothers me is the IoT nature of them. Even if they rely on proximity for automated events, you can manually watch and record at any time. And no, that's not the same as looking out the window, because the S in IoT stands for security. As a neighbour to a fleet of crappy IoT cameras, I have no idea who's watching what I do I and around my house.
