Anyone on the Internet Can Ring Your Doorbell

That would be impressive as my doorbell is hardwired from a button to a transformer and bell in a closet.

You could take a picture from the real footage, remove the people from it and insert yourself into the front yard. Then when they open the door act confused that you cant see them.

edit: my doorbell resets if you hold it down for 10 seconds then it takes wifi credentials with a QR code and thinks you are it's new owner.

I'd be shocked if the Ring doorbells were materially more secure.

I sit firmly in the "only smart device is my printer and I keep a loaded gun next to it in case it makes a weird noise" camp.

I wonder how I would feel about that, if I was alone at home, and lonely.

Would it cheer me that people were reaching out and ringing my doorbell?

Or would it make me sad because I would be reminded that there was not a friend ringing at the door?
