I could be wrong but I’m certain in California you can only film people on public property. You can’t film public to private if I remember correctly.

Mississippi may have different filming/photographing laws on the books. I almost feel like this wouldn’t be allowed in California.

This allows Ring owners to opt-in to allowing a live feed to police. I’m pretty sure that works around that sort of issue.

I would think it wouldn’t work if other people’s private property is in view, though, no? In a typical suburban area, it would be difficult to position a camera in such a way that it’s not also recording your neighbor’s property.
