This sucks. We have had a ring doorbell for several years and love it. I had no idea Amazon bought them. It has been very useful as a doorbell and seeing who is in front of our house.

I may have to rethink this as I don’t like the idea of the police and others tapping into my doorbell.

Other companies make Ring style doorbells. We don’t have either. We have our own video surveillance with its own hard drive. Stores round the clock for 90 days then starts over.

I understand the confusion, and sadly for many Constitution is optional.

I am not a fan of Ring or the surveillance state. However, my concern is that post read as statement of fact. People not reading the article will think Ring has actual heat source monitoring capability when it does not.

We all do it—comment on the headlines w/o reading the article, but posts would be far more accurate if people took time to read...

Freegards.

You can do that with your own WiFi camera setup...
