Ring, owned by Amazon, is one of the most popular home surveillance companies in the world.

These are consumer-grade surveillance tools that can record activities in and around your property — but should you put them in your home?

If you’re going to have a camera recording every person coming and going from your house, monitoring you inside your home, or even recording audio of you whether you’re in frame or not, you’re going to want to know that this footage is private and secure.

In an upcoming video we’re going to dive into some other home camera alternatives, but SPOILER ALERT: privacy and security doesn’t seem to be at the forefront for most companies.
