Even the trash cans. Just...put the trash cans in actual view of the camera? How would you buy a camera just to watch your trash cans and then not actually watch the trash cans with it?

You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?

I have a Google doorbell and it's night vision is terrible. I've taken the garbage to the curb during the winter when it's the darkest and the doorbell didn't register anything not the noise not the motion. Even knowing what I was looking for I barely show up in the video feed, it looks like a ghost.

Easy solution, jam the wifi signal while moving the mat. Added benefit of making them more concerned that the house is haunted. If the houses are close enough (likely, hoa so suburbs) you could just hook it to a basic wall-wart timer that actives at 3 and deactives at 3:05, and have it + jammer plugged in at the closest outlet to neighbors front door. Ring doesn't have a wired ethernet version to fix this vulnerability.

...why are you looking at me like that?

You have no idea how many of those things are mounted such that you can walk up from the side unseen.

This is easily accomplished with a fishing rod. I also don't believe this, however.
