I doubt they actually do much anyway.

Are you implying Ring won't dispatch police when you have a break-in?

Looks like an add on to me.

Yes, but anyone with the alarm system and not just the doorbell usually gets it. It's only $10/mo, far less than the $40-60 you pay for ADT etc.

I never thought about it before but these things are all wifi based right. What happens when you show up with your 2.4GHz jammer in the kilowatt range that you uhhh, liberated from a common cooking appliance.

I mean besides making all the hams in the neighborhood mad at you.

Ring sensors use zwave; so 900MHz range. The hub works either hard wired and probably over WiFi or with cellular backup.

Or just take a walk in a Ringed-up neighborhood with the knowledge that your pictures are not being sent to the local police department in the name of 'pre-crime'.

It's still light out in the US. /me plays Beastie Boys - Rhymin & Stealin
