Anyone using Ring cameras?
I have a neighbor (disgusting deplorable redneck) who has vandalized my AC unit.
I also have a Ring camera, but I have concerns regarding recent news about privacy.
Are Ring cameras safe for outdoor use?
TYIA!

I am just wondering about wifi privacy issues.

But AC is not optional here in this terrible swampy climate.

Whatever system you choose be sure to add stickers and signs letting those who might be less than nice know that they are being recorded. Part of the benefit is the ability to deter folks from causing problems.

They work great. I think many of the security issues are dealt with by setting up two-factor authentication.
Their customer service is superb. Set up is generally very easy. Just make sure you have a strong wifi signal where you set up the camera.

Disconcerting to have neighbor do this to AC.
