30 feet is often more than the distance from the front door to a sidewalk, and often well into the actual street.

30 feet is often across the street.

The Ring videos my neighbors post show their yards, the sidewalk, and all the way to the cars on the other side of the street.
It seems to be all about how your doorbell is positioned, though.
No, this is not public property, it's if you walk on private property. Ring cams are placed on private property and are targeted at homeowners. They usually don't record or activate outside of a range of 30 feet or so. So if someone drives by my house the ring cam doesn't capture it but if someone walks by my door it does.
