In the age of smart home devices, privacy is more critical than ever. Recently, a video surfaced of conservative commentator Steven Crowder in a heated exchange with his then-pregnant wife. The main point of interest for our community isn’t the content of this altercation but rather the means by which it was captured – a Ring camera.
For those unfamiliar with the incident, the video showcased a visibly upset Crowder advising his wife on her “wifely” duties and making pointed comments about her needing to be “wife worthy”. While Crowder has since claimed the video was “misleadingly edited,” the video has stirred a lot of discussion online.
The clarity and audio quality of the video points to the capabilities of modern home security systems. The device that caught this particular moment was a Ring camera.
Ring cameras have become increasingly popular due to their convenience, clarity, and integration capabilities. They can be connected to other smart devices and provide real-time footage right to your smartphone or computer. While they are excellent tools for home security, incidents like this remind users to be aware of their privacy settings and where they place their cameras.
As we continue to integrate technology into our homes for safety and convenience, it’s essential to remember the implications on our privacy. Whether you stand by Ring or any other security camera brand, always be informed about its capabilities and potential implications.
