"Oh you don't like the idea of always on cameras monitoring every street at all times? Guess you want burglaries to happen all the time."
Statistically, doorbell cameras don't lower this risk of burglaries. A lot of the claims that they do come from companies selling them.
This study found that they actually increase the risk of being targeted by burglars
All the while you are sticking a camera with a history of shoddy cybersecurity to your home.
Look at this case of harassment that involved the use of a doorbell camera and try to pretend my concerns aren't valid.
I do: chuds have this power fantasy that they are the keepers of exclusive truths that everyone would agree with if only they could see those truths, and by see those truths, they mean getting their brains flooded with cortisol and adrenaline after a burglary and deciding that a surveillance police state is cool and good.
