Bought a Ring camera a few weeks ago and keep getting reminders to subscribe £8 month to continue getting notifications and viewing recordings.

 

I'm sure i have read somewhere that there is another way to do this without having to pay a subscription, anybody any idea and how please.

are you aware of the security and privacy implications

I hope no one is thinking of putting one of these inside their house.  Although it seems ridiculous you can see why people have done this under certain circumstances and what the risks are.

The main thing I take away from these stories is; why on Earth would you need a CCTV camera in your own bathroom? :loopy:

 

And why do I care that some American might be touching themselves every time I leave the house? 🤣

One of cameras was to check on an elderly person in an assisted living centre and the other to check on a 4 year child with a history of seizures.  So maybe understandable.

Personally though I do care about my privacy, so I wouldn’t install it.
