Is it time to ring the alarm on internet door cameras? | Eva Wiseman
56% Informative
Where once the suburbs were characterised by net curtains and the drone of lawn mowers, now they are defined by Ring doorbells.
It's a rare home that hasn’t invited in an Alexa , or set their family’s phones to be tracked on small cartoon maps, or rigged up a doorbell camera over the front garden.
There are some benefits to having a camera running, but for me they pale violently beside the drawbacks, which range from hacking to hypervigilance.
Doorbells are not simply peep-holes to look out of as with internet-enabled speakers and trackers, these are devices that collect, analyse and share information.
They're not just cameras, they’re a threat to our mental health, our communities, our sense of self, our relationships and our privacy.
