I wouldnt trust any of those cameras that send all your data offsite. Get something that only you have access to. Even if the camera angle doesnt record anything personal, its still eavesdropping on you. Its constantly recording all audio and sending it to Amazon.
Ring has a terrible reputation for this.
Amazon’s Ring has settled with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over charges that the company allowed employees and contractors to access customers’ private videos, and failed to implement security protections which enabled hackers to take control of customers’ accounts, cameras, and videos.
The FTC is now sending refunds totaling more than $5.6 million to US consumers as a result of the settlement.
In a shocking lapse of security protection, it turned out that every single person working for Amazon Ring, whether they were an employee or a contractor, was able to access every single customer video, even when it wasn’t necessary for their jobs.
The FTC gave the example of one employee who, over several months, viewed thousands of video recordings belonging to female users of Ring cameras that were pointed at intimate spaces in their homes such as their bathrooms or bedrooms. This didn’t stop until another employee discovered the misconduct.
