Video Doorbell Cameras Record Audio, Too

Doorbell cameras can record audio from up to 20 to 25 feet. Consumer Reports offers tips to help you protect your privacy—and your neighbors'.

We need to breed some Harry Potter “mandrake root” and plant them near all doorbell cameras. Give Amazon hours and hours of screeching. I wonder how long before a camera owner is sued?

I wonder how long before a camera owner is sued?

In the US? Never. Because they have that BS “you don’t need consent to record someone in public” thing. IIRC they so nicely put it as that you have no “reasonable expectation of privacy” when you’re outside. It’s why “prank” videos on random strangers outside are legal, or those obnoxious Instagram vloggers you can’t stand being around, and let’s not forget that Tesla that just passed you recording you and sending it straight to Elon Musk. So if your voice is transmitted to the outside, you know, because you foolishly didn’t decide to live in the vacuum of space, most likely it’s fair game.

Two party consent? Idk, I don’t really like the idea of it. What if the recorded party abuses the system to discard recorded evidence?
