‘I feel like I’m being watched by my neighbour’s Ring doorbell – I want to report her’

The woman has threatened to take serious action of her neighbour if she doesn’t remove her video doorbell, but the neighbour insists that it’s just for extra security and she barely watches the footage

A woman has threatened to report her neighbour after finding that her front door is in clear view of next door’s Ring doorbell camera. The person took to Reddit to explain that she has got a new neighbour in recent months and all has been going well until recently when she noticed what was in the camera’s view.

The woman, who remained anonymous, said: “We introduced briefly and apart from the noise made when she was having movers bring in her things, she’s very quiet and polite.

“However there’s one thing that bothers me. She has a Ring doorbell on her door.”

Made by an Amazon-owned company, the smart doorbells feature cameras which allow you to see everything that’s occurring outside your door at all times via an app on your phone.

The woman decided to confront her neighbour and ask her why she had the Ring doorbell but her neighbour said it was just for extra security and she does not take much notice of what is on there.

But the author of the post has concerns that her front door is in clear view of the camera on the doorbell.

“Recently, I saw her leaving and asked her why she had it and that I was worried that she could see me in my apartment,” stated the author.

“She said she had it for packages and due to no peep holes on the door, and just extra security. She showed me that yes it can see my door a bit but assured me she’s not on her phone all day checking it.”

However, the person went on to say that she felt a bit uncomfortable with her front door being in clear view of the camera and asked if the neighbour would be able to remove it.

“She told me she was sorry I was was uncomfortable but she was not spying on me and had a right to have one up,” she stated.

“She wasn’t breaking her lease and she had seen other people in the complex have one. I told her I don’t care about other people, I want it gone or I will be reporting her.”

Her neighbour was less than impressed with this statement and later on the author had a visit from her building manager asking to stop harassing her neighbour about the doorbell.

In response, many have been quick to support the neighbour as one wrote: “Just think of it as extra security that you don’t have to pay for. I guarantee if something happens at your door step, the first thing you’ll do is go to her for footage.”

While another wrote: “I don’t get why she thinks her neighbor has fewer rights than she does?”
