"Why We Don’t Recommend Ring Cameras"

"...products that can be dangerous to you, or to society in general, which we believe to be the case with Amazon-owned Ring and its relationship with law enforcement."

When I was a delivery guy, I was amazed/appalled at all the Ring cameras I saw on my route. :(

I don't know if RIng has the same relationship with law enforcement here in Canada but its ties to them in the USA frightens me.

Company?
Same issue as "monitored".

If you don't understand the tech, ask someone who does and DIY.
