Looking at most Ring videos, they don't seem very useful for tracking anyone down, more of a "yes, a porch pirate stole your stuff." Their position is such that the license plate -- assuming they even come in via a vehicle -- is visible. Plate readers need to be in a different place, with a different aim.

Plus, Rings are wireless, and too many thieves are just using a wireless jammer.

Is this actually that wide spread? I hardwire all of my cameras but I've never heard of wide-spread wireless jamming in house-hold crime.

They should cut off the power instead... it would take care of both.

It's a grab, not a heist.

In a heist, they probably would have battery backups anyways...

Around here, I have seen a few clips of it.
