‘Mine’ draws a line in the sand between the perceived inner world and the outer world. From this stems a need to control not only the apparent controllables, but also random happenings and any other events which may lead to loss; risk management at a very personal level. Even though Doorbell Cameras are considered a realistic way to curtail crime, the owners and installers of these devices often violate ethical considerations, both at a personal level and at a social level. Reasonable expectation of privacy is a topic we all assume to be for our own benefit and as a deterrent to crime. Yet without notifying those being filmed or photographed, we may be breaking laws. In most states it is only legal to film one’s own front door. If a neighbor’s home, particularly the inside of said home, is in the video the owner of the camera could be breaking the law due to the cone of visibility. They must procure the neighbor’s consent to be filmed. Yet, such considerations are rarely valued when doorbell cameras are installed and used. The fear of personal loss trumps others’ reasonable expectation of privacy. Although crime rates have been steadily dropping, the illusion that they are on the rise is presented daily by news outlets, focusing on isolated crimes, as well as the makers of security devices.

Speaking of the alerts you get from your doorbell, the RemoBell S has the capability for you to adjust the motion detection alert settings, meaning even if your front door is close to the sidewalk, you won’t need to worry about it going off all the time. Conversely, once the motion detection is set, you’ll see that it works better than a guard dog at keeping you safe in the knowledge that nobody is sneaking around. A: Given enough time and resources, anything can be hacked. If someone was to try and hack your doorbell remotely, they’d have a difficult time as the doorbells have limited functionality and therefore limited ability to exploit. It’s possible to do so though, so make sure you install the latest software updates as soon as you know they’re out to make sure you stay ahead of the exploit curve. Physical exploitation would be easier, but still not easy. Disabling of doorbell cameras is more common and hacking isn’t necessary for that, as doorbells come with lifetime theft protection because they’re more likely to be removed than to be hacked or damaged beyond usability. Doorbell cameras connect to your smartphone via Wi Fi. Thanks to features like smart locks, motion detection, and night vision support, you can get an extra layer of security to your home. Most smart doorbells will let you see and talk to anyone who rings your door, even if you’re not home. This could help deter would be burglars by tipping them off that you might actually be at home, even if you’re really not.
