Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE

  Reason #186729 why it’s insane to have no right to privacy in public.

  Fun fact: Recording the public is illegal in Germany. Any private video camera must only be able to record your own property. If you do record (and store - smart doorbells without storage that are only active when they are rung are exempted) material you must have visible warnings (that others can see BEFORE being recorded) or else any evidence you collect is likely to be thrown out in court.

    It’s the same here in Sweden. You’re definitely allowed to vlog and such, if you’re recording yourself, or general environment stuff for a purpose that’s okay. You aren’t allowed to surveil public areas. Naturally this also means that doorbell cameras can be perfectly fine, provided they don’t catch public spaces. If your door points sideways for example, and there’s a hedge blocking any public space, you’re fine.

    If you’re in a flat and you’re recording the stairwell, well that’s illegal.

  This may finally convince my parents to get rid of their ring camera. Thank you

  Yeah, the idea of Amazon running my home security did NOT appeal to me. I went with another brand.

  It’s just out in the open, you’re too stupid if you think they didn’t do it already.

  My old ring is in a box ready to go to electronics resell/recycling. Maybe it needs a meeting with my friend Sledge before it goes out, so it can’t hurt anyone again.

  In case it wasn’t obvious, you have to be pretty fucking stupid to install surveillance in your own house linked to tech corporations, with your own money, while making them a profit.

  This was the kick in the ass I needed. Removing that device tomorrow.

    Wish somebody would open source these things… Was gifted a really nice flood light cam with audio and hate to bin it. Their decent hardware.

      I’ve been using this for years and it’s about to become my main. I put a memory card in it and can access it globally without a subscription to any service. It’s “compatible with Alexa” but that’s not ever happening.

    Same i had canceled the monthly but I suspect they still have access…

    • Jumbie@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I canceled my subscription a few minutes ago. I’m not fucking around. The device will be ripped off the entryway as soon as it’s light outside.

      This is fucking wrong and I won’t stand for it.

  Time to invest in some CC cameras.

  • GreenKnight23@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    the best time to invest in those was February 2025. now the prices are 2-3x higher than they should be because “tariffs”.

  my inlaws live next door and have a ring camera. both me and my partner are trans and i dont think we will be able to convince them to take it down…

  • glitch1985@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Are you able to sell it as an upgrade? There are better cameras than ring.

    • cheers_queers@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      i could. they are stubborn emeffers who do what they want and dont really think there is anything to worry about

  Are any brands decent? Unfortunately my door doesn’t have a peep hole so I need a camera.

    I have an Aqara doorbell camera thats been really nice

    I am not 100% sure about their privacy but the camera can record local as well as to iCloud when used with HomeKit

    My IoT approach for the last 7 years has been HomeKit or DIY and I have not been disappointed too much

  I think I want to print out a letter and put it in everyone’s home in my neighborhood with one of these. To at least let them know who they’re helping. I’d bet a vast majority have no idea.

  Every liberal yuppie that got one of these things is an idiot and a hypocrite.

  Everyone else who got one is an idiot, but goddamnit were these trendy amongst the hypocrite liberal yuppie crowd.

  It would be cool if we could hack the feeds shown by our own cameras to show images of Donald and Epstein together, so every time they look, everytime they use our cameras, it’s logged with images of Donny and his best friend

  First and foremost I would never use one of these things.

  That said, supposedly, you can opt out. That won’t protect you from warranted access from law enforcement. Probably not worth it, the peephole works fine.
