> I believe these cameras haven't decreased crime. They also don't really add more security. It's a shame though they are everywhere, with disregard for privacy right on people's property. So yes, I'm biased. I have no love for Ring.

Impossible to believe with the ubiquity that they haven't decreased crime. Or at least certain types of crimes.

Prior to this type of video only a small amount of people had security cameras and generally they were easily spotted.

Today anyone committing (again a certain type of) crime knows that if they drive into a neighborhood or walk around they will be on a camera somewhere and multiple times. That has to have an impact even if there isn't data to prove it.
