In reply to Scott. So I was sitting at home on my couch when the ring app notified me that a “live event” had just occurred as in you have just had someone enter rings detection area and it is supposed to record it. However, no event was logged in the app and there was no one at the door. It appeared that someone had accessed the ring doorbell and it set off an alarm with no event logged. I contacted ring and they stated that they saw nothing on their end and suggested I change my password which I did. Further research confirmed my skepticism about rings answer that nothing was wrong but since changing the password I have not had a repeat incident. Bottom line, I don’t believe that the law is not accessing the app or at least Ring is voluntarily providing access and if anything illegal is discovered the law then goes and gets a warrant. Buyer be ware.

In reply to Michael Pierce. You are thinking of the Nextdoor app. FAC is not advertising anything.

I had the Neighbor’s app until I got a visit from my P.O. telling me she got a complaint that I was a member.
It should be noted that my P.O. offered to support me if I wanted to fight for my right to have and participate in the Neighbor’s app.
Apparently the Neighbor’s app has a policy that does not allow those of us required to register to be a part of their community which begs the question ( why is F.A.C. advertising for Ring/Neighbor?)

I’m sorry but as long as you have a smart TV and internet, there isn’t anything private in your life. Just ask Alexa. I always thought my Brother-in-Law was smart to not have a smart TV and internet. He does everything the old fashion way. But if you Google my name, there he is because I send him items through Amazon. He is tied to me and I’m sure his information as to phone and address can be gotten from some place on the internet. We all gave up our right to privacy years ago!! My advice to parents is, as long as your children live with you, don’t allow them to have their devices or smart tv’s , or entertain in their bedrooms. Bedrooms are for sleeping only.

Search Youtube for times Hackers have gotten into Ring and Nest cameras and began talking to the person in the room. If they can do it, cops can do it.
