[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1883402, member: 204485"] I thought about getting a Ring doorbell cam myself once but read a few articles about the security/privacy risks and decided against it. This Tom's Guide lists some of the vulnerabilities of that brand; [URL="https://www.tomsguide.com/news/ring-cameras-fail-mozilla-privacy-test-and-senators-want-to-know-more"]Ring cameras fail privacy test[/URL] Obviously even with a reliable brand one has to take reasonable efforts to ensure passwords are secure (not the default) and protocols are high end but in the end it's the old story, the more info about yourself and your activity you put out there the more risk you are at. I even use a macOS app called Oversight which monitors activity on my MBP mike and camera. It's easy to use and simply asks permission for any activity not previously "whitelisted". [/QUOTE]
