It’s no surprise that dogs remain a favorite companion for many. Known as “Man’s Best Friend,” their unwavering loyalty and affection make them irresistible. Personally, I often tell skeptics who claim that love can’t be purchased that they’ve clearly never experienced the joy of welcoming a puppy into their home.
Our adoration for dogs is profound, prompting us to take extra measures to ensure their safety. For many, this includes installing doorbell cameras to prevent their canine companions from wandering off. However, when security companies begin linking these cameras to create extensive neighborhood surveillance networks, it raises questions about privacy. Is this crossing the line?
Upon examining the footage shared in the recent post on X, as well as the accompanying video, it appears that these camera grids have considerable blind spots. The Ring cameras typically capture up to the curb, leaving noticeable gaps between houses.
My skepticism remains. I’ve watched numerous doorbell camera clips—some amusing, others more serious—showcasing individuals darting across streets and sidewalks, often out of the camera’s view.

Now, a quick look at the still in the X post here and the video (below) would seem to indicate that there is a lot of dead space in that camera grid. The Ring cameras seem to go to about the curb, leaving lots of gaps between houses.
Color me skeptical. I’ve seen too many doorbell camera videos, some humorous, some serious, that show people running off across the street and down the sidewalk.
