Tech industry analyst Carolina Milanesi said engaging with police and offering incentives is a “very smart move by Ring” and a missed opportunity for competitors, including Google’s Nest and smaller companies such as Arlo Technologies and SimpliSafe. But a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California called the system “an unmitigated disaster” for the privacy of many neighborhoods. In one case, a doorbell camera caught footage of four burglary suspects trying to enter a residence. Three were arrested at the time, but a fourth got away. After the homeowner gave Arcadia detectives some Ring video clips, police identified and arrested the last suspect. Hammond, Indiana, also put up money to offer Ring cameras at a discount.

One of the main differences is that SimpliSafe claims no hidden fees and requires no commitment or service contract. As highlighted in the New York Times articles on SimpliSafe, many home security systems require up to a three year contract that can costthousandsof dollars, and often have add on fees that raise the actual cost of the service from what is stated as the monthly home security monitoring fee. SimpliSafe requires no such contract and no auto renewal fees. Another important difference between SimpliSafe and some of the more traditional home security systems is that SimpliSafe is 100% wireless. Not only does that mean a less expensive and difficult installation process, but more importantly the system cannot be shut down by a clever thief with wire cutters. In fact, the home security installation is so simple that the customer can begin installing the system in as littleas 5 minutes, as shown in a helpful video on the website.

FIG. 2B illustrates a representative operating environment in which a server system 164 provides data processing for monitoring and facilitating review of events e. g. , motion, audio, security, etc. in video streams captured by video cameras 118 or doorbell cameras 106. As shown in FIG. 5, the video source 501 includes a camera 118 or 106, and an optional controller device. In some implementations, the camera 118 or 106 includes sufficient on board processing power to perform all necessary local video processing tasks e. g. , cuepoint detection for motion event candidates, video uploading prioritization, network connection management, etc. , and the camera 118 or 106 communicates with the server system 164 directly, without any controller device acting as an intermediary.
