I enjoy having cameras on my house to see what's going on in the neighborhood. It has come in handy at least once when my neighbor's truck was stolen in broad daylight.
They are ring cameras because two were installed already when I moved in. What should I switch to? I just really want motion alerts and proof when something bad happens.
How is the legal situation in the US? Are you allowed to permanently film and record the public space?
In Germany, you have to limit the camera to your public ground, due to private reasons
In Estonia it's legal to have it film the public ground if you have signs making it clear
On the one hand it's useful to have cameras that show the street. On the other hand, when you post signage like that it kinda says "I have shit worth guarding"
