Anyone else think Ring is creepy as fuck? Like, literally how can you think it's a good idea to allow a global corporation owned by an evil rich guy who's also really into the media, to put millions of spy cameras pointing everywhere always recording and feeding back into Amazons giant data banks? What when the latest models have multicameras for photogrametric distance estimation? Real time seamless reconstruction in a virtual environment from that data? 24/7 complete and utter godlike strategic overview of everywhere that has a Ring camera and what people are saying and how they're moving and flowing and communicating and associating? YUK. Why would you let that happen? RESIST. Later will be too late :V

YES and I BET these things have an extra wifi antenna or circuit or timeslice and are CONSTANT sniffing and listening and pinging and recording and feeding that back to amazon too, you can COUNT on it

Hmm it should ping bluetooth beacons containing its best estimated position of an IR led so other Rings within its field of view can triangulate and fix their location really well too, report all that back to the mothership along with enough pics and eventually they'll have mm precision on everything so long as a Ring can see other Rings hmm
