Additionally, the company said that sharing any footage from Ring cameras is at the camera owner’s discretion, except in response to legal requests. The email, which Ring confirmed to The Verge was written by Siminoff, was sent following the launch of Search Party. A Search Party, on the other hand, can be initiated by anyone with access to the Ring Neighbors app. Search Party was initially designed to find dogs and recently expanded to wildfires. Which begs the question, exactly what is it that will eventually help Ring “zero out crime”?
