Surprising how many people have installed Ring. Then they join the Ring "Neighborhood Watch" and can easily post all the videos of the strange people who approach their door. Of course, there's plenty of the "Whoops sorry I need that UPS package, ... let me take it off your hands." Plenty of strange people knocking on the door, pushing and pulling on the knob to make sure the door doesn't accidentally open. ...
And of course the drive by appraisers. Apparently some people don't realize the loan they applied for requires a drive-by. So this guy gets recorded (motion detector) taking a picture of their home and up and down the street. They can't figure it out. So, they send out a notification to all of the neighbors - "Have you seen this guy? He's taking a picture of my house!!!"
I've seen a number of these, they come from around several communities. ... Get a Ring just for the Neighborhood Watch --- you might learn something useful. ...
So, you kind of get to know the drive-by appraisers.
Then some of us not only have a Ring, we have a Lorex System with a couple of hi-res 4K that can look up and down the street. The guy next street over has one on the top of his flagpole.
What's the world coming too? - And what is to stop someone from collecting all of these videos and putting them on a public website?
