I have a Ring and the Neighbors app. 99% of the "incidents" are people sharing the coyote or fox in their yard, scared about the "rabid wolf" in their yard. Meanwhile we've actually had a murder, bank robbery and dead body found in a park in the last 3 months, and only a quick bleep about any of those incidents.
The app, or rather the "community" behind it, is worthless for any "news" or public safety alerts. If it wasn't integrated with the app to view my own camera's feeds, it would be gone from my phone. Any time there is anything of note, it's filled with garbage nonsense comments that are at best terrible attempts at humor, or vile and repugnant at worst.
-10/10, would not recommend.
- spamizbad 5y agoOur local Nextdoor is similar. Someone called 911 on a deer. When he was asked "It's a deer, why did you call 911?" he stated a charging deer could easily kill a child. Which is something that while technically true, deer only tend to kill people when it involves vehicle accidents (car strikes deer) - not because a deer trampled am unsupervised toddler.
