I live alone and my neighbor found some drunk and/or high folks trespassing on my property while I wasn't home the other day. I want to put up cameras as a safety thing, but I hate Ring.

I'm a broke botch rn too, so the subs for the cameras or whatever can't be crazy.

Respect other peoples privacy. Make sure the camera only covers your own property, and not the public street or sidewalk.

    Public areas are public.

    you are right, public areas are public, and in public you are not recording passersby. public is not your reality show.

    There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in public.

    contrary to what you are spreading, yes there is, to an extent. the expectation of not being recorded, and analyzed by computer algorithms. the only thing we cannot expect is not being seen by other people, but no one is arguing that.

    I have mine pointed down from neighboring houses but they do cover the sidewalk and street which can help in the event of a break-in or crash. They also run through frigate in addition to my NVR and in that I have the sidewalk and street masked off so I only get notifications for people coming on my property. This way the sidewalk and street is being recorded by not viewed unless something happens.
