The challenge is… how do you convince all your neighbors to take down their Ring doorbells?
A mix of blackmail and extortion
Just kidding, in reality there is no ethical way to control what your neibours do. What you can do is inform them about the recent controversies regarding Ring cameras.
It’d be nice if my HOA banned Ring cameras instead of solar
I’m imagining a series of signs I could walk in front of the cameras….
Pffft. Good luck, your neighbors will dismiss you as a crank. Take it from an environmentalist fighting herbicides and the like.
They trust authority.
Aside from the obvious concerns, from a cost perspective why would you chose ring when you have to pay for it to be useful. There are other options that are cheaper and free to use as long as you pop an SD card in them. Obviously they aren’t totally innocent of concern but feels like people do zero research into what’s available.
My experience is that people are conditioned these days to do everything by subscription, even when it provides no additional value.
Convert your wyze cams to local with Thingino and use rtsp cameras then block their ability to access outside web.
That’s not actually the whole problem. If you watch the video, he brings up how your insurance company or the police can demand your footage (like all of it) and if you don’t comply you could have your claim denied, or face charges.

Does this apply to arlo cameras too?
It applies to any cloud-based camera system. I don’t know if those are or not.
This is why I bought Ubiquiti. Self hosting is the ONLY way I was ever buying into a camera syatem.
