Ring and Nextdoor turns people into paranoid nutters. Unfortunately the impact of these services is much wider than the users themselves, as your story shows.

- katbyte 5y agoI imagine they were tat way before just now we’re seeing it.
- ashtonkem 5y agoPossible. My personal experience is that these apps increased my anxiety significantly until I got rid of them. I live in an incredibly safe city, and yet they were making me feel unsafe. So I replaced my ring with a more privacy protecting and social media-free alternative, because video doorbells are very convenient still.
- function_seven 5y agoYou mind recommending your solution? I'm running a cheap Wyze cam in my front window (with a view of the porch, and RTSP firmware to stream to MotionEye) But it's still Wyze, kinda sucks, and I'd rather have an actual fisheye camera and doorbell rather than a creepy camera peering out the window.
- ashtonkem 5y agoI’m using an Amcrest AD110 for my doorbell, and Reolink for external cameras. The Reolink cameras are PoE and behave nicely on my network. I’m also running a nicer network setup that lets me put these cameras on another vlan for security. Currently I’m experimenting with Frigate as my NVR for object identification and clip tracking.
