    We need open source, non subscription camera/app tech. For safety and for keeping an eye on Pops when he ages out.

    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.
