...it'll just keep recording and storing whatever it sees, forever?

If Hildybeast can destroy a hard drive with a hammer, Freepers should be able to handle a doorbell.

Can you put a dot of paint on the camera lense?

A piece of duct tape is easier and not as messy.

The whole purpose of buying one is to see who is at your door. 🀷

No, the white racism commercial was for a realtor group. Here's the Ring Superbowl commercial that proclaims it's connecting everyone's cameras to a central information base they have no say over is a GOOD thing.

And here's some responses to that. What seemed to be the perfect foil for Porch Pirates is starting to look like a fox guarding the henhouse of your personal privacy.

“Now they buy devices to spy on themselves and send that information to people who openly hate everything they believe and think.”

Yep. The telescreens aren’t on every wall but in every pocket.

You can evangelize the NSA while taking a shower 🚿🚿🚿 😜

One of my favorite Gospel songs and it’s refreshing to the soul

Once in awhile whenever it’s obvious that the bots are listening 🎧🎧🎧 (which is all of the time anyways) I’ll put all three of my phones πŸ“±πŸ“±πŸ“± next to the speakers πŸ”ŠπŸ”Š (real close to one) and let ‘er rip while I go take a shower 🚿.

16 minutes and 49 seconds long, I want the NSA and whomever to get their money’s worth. πŸ˜„πŸ˜ƒπŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡

Now lest anyone think I’m well-to-do, my main phone πŸ“± is only $20 per month and the backup phone πŸ“± is only $20 every 3 months. The 3rd phone πŸ“± I can only use on WiFi.

So my two main phone is πŸ“±πŸ“± only costs $240+$80 for a full year (plus a little tax). Since I use WiFi most of the time I have nearly 70 gig of spare data on the main phone πŸ“±.

Yeah I could switch to other plans but the phones πŸ“±πŸ“± are locked πŸ”πŸ”.

It’s unlimited talk and text. They claim WiFi calling capable but it never seems to work. πŸ˜ŸπŸ˜”πŸ˜¦πŸ˜Ώ

I use a video doorbell made by Eufy. (yes that is the name) Local on device (SD card) storage only, no cloud BS like Nest.

“What are the odds?”

My sister and I were sitting on a bench outside of a surgery center waiting for my brother to be discharged.

About halfway way home, Sis said, “Oh, I forgot my water bottle on the bench.” She said she didn’t want to bother going back for it.

About a half hour later, she was getting ads on her cell phone AND her PC (????) for water bottles.

I forgot to add that I ALSO was getting water bottle ads. So I guess the mics at least can’t identify or distinguish voices. Yet.

Ring doorbell cams do the same thing - they just don’t make the data retrievable by you - or allow you to talk with someone if you aren’t at home when they come calling.
But they still notify you when there’s activity at your door and allow you to see the pic - or even a “live view” of what’s going on in front of the camera, without a subscription.
