The only way this stops is if people give up their RING cameras.
I bought a house Dec '23, the previous owner was a guy in his late 80s in poor health, so his kids had setup a full ring system to help keep an eye on him. The hour after I closed on it, I ripped all that shit out
We need open source, non subscription camera/app tech. For safety and for keeping an eye on Pops when he ages out.
we used a babycam. the one we used, you can talk through but the audio quality is shit.
Just ordered a set of reolink cameras to replace all our ring stuff.
Once they're set up you can probably tell your router not to let them access the internet at all. This is assuming that you're recording locally.
I’ll put on a ski mask and take down every single one I encounter. Ring owners everywhere hate this one simple trick.
