Taking walks around the neighborhood, I've stared to notice just the sheer number of these cameras. It bothers me that I end up on probably 10+ doorbell cameras, possibly showing up as an alert on someones phone.

I live in a suburb where basically nothing ever happens. Sure, there's the occasional clip posted on nextdoor of a rude driver or some kids stealing a lawn ornament. But I highly doubt that the grainy unfocused video of a doorbell camera was ever pivotal in solving these crimes.

I just don't understand why so many people want to record the front of their house, and pay someone like Amazon a monthly fee to do so.
