I installed mine a month ago and so far it's been a snoozefest despite being on a very busy street, yeah I know I need to lower my expectations.

Bonus points for videos biggrin

In laws live on a pretty rough council estate, their cameras catch a weekly/daily occurrence - the nut job old lady next door hacking the front door to come in and swear non stop in front of all the grandchildren and ask for whiskey (shouting 'their facking in there i saw them' )

Did catch footage of a hoodie trying to break in once. I'm sure it will catch some more commotion in the coming months/years.

I would be glad that your camera doesn't see much action, i toyed with the idea of getting one to find out who was letting their dog st on my front lawn. After a few weeks of research i managed to find out the time this was happening and stayed up to catch the dirty old bd and his dog. Words were had and magically dog st has now disappeared.

Lots of foxes and deer - the foxes like to pee next to the Nordic fur in the front garden, the deer seem to like to nibble at it.

I’ve actually trimmed the capture zone now so it doesn’t pick them up.

Not a door bell but normal cctv

Had a wallet turn up in the bag garden

Instantly thought it was a burglar or he had stolen it else where and dropped it in our garden

Turns out it was from a few doors up, saw mr fox just drop it there

Peacocks, dogs, hedge hogs etc

Other strange things which just turn out to be next door’s elderly friends getting confused, but would have caused concern if we’d not seen the whole picture later

what's the legality of digitally recording the likeness of an innocent postie or jehovah's witnesses for little good reason except your massive paranoia that someone will steal your naff statue of a forest satyr you bought in Times Past in 2001 ?

One night we captured a video of a guy, pissed out of his mind, who wandered up my drive, walked straight into my house (as in the brick wall, not through the door) and collapsed. 15 minutes later there was another video of him stumbling back up the driveway. Hilarious!

Caught a few members of the Irish Caravanning, roofing and driveway enthusiast club at large.

First one, hi-viz, shorts, riggers boots and clipboard (!), relieved my 80 year old neighbour of the couple of quid he'd left in a Tupperware box, beside his step for the papergirl. He was caught mid-act and reluctantly surrendered his ill-gotten gains, despite some bullst that would have made donald trump blush.

The other two, at separate times, were obviously casing the place, their eyes were everywhere, until they spotted the doorbell cam, then it looked like they'd lost their Dag, and left sharpish in a hurried attempt to find it.

My camera recorded my window cleaner sat at my patio table on the phone for an hour and a half a few weeks ago.

Nothing exciting.

Ours caught someone trying the front door at silly o'clock in the morning. He then disappears off between ours and nextdoors. Not 5 minutes later police arrive and head into next doors garden. Last thing the door bell catches is the screams of the scalywag getting peppered sprayed laugh. Pity CNC were'nt in the area, they'd have tazered him

Mainly just drunken offspring, one of them holding a nearly full pint pot despite being a fair distance from any pub.

You can only record people on your own property, and should set the camera up so it doesn't record public places (ie the road, parks etc).

There was a case last year where a couple took their neighbour to court and successfully argued that their Ring doorbell was intrusive and constituted harassment as it caught their movements in and out the house. People with camera doorbells have to abide by the Data Protection Act and the GDPR law on collection and necessary processing of data.

My mate had a similar problem with a dog stting outside his house, he spent a few hundred quid on cctv and we then spent a few hours installing the cameras up ladders on the roof of his house. He’d been determined to catch the culprit so the money and time was well justified in his eyes.

We saw nothing for a few weeks but then we suddenly get a video sent to our WhatsApp group where he’s announced he’s caught the culprit!

Turns out it was his own dog, it had been sneaking out if a gap in the back gate going to the front of the house, stting on the pavement and then returning to the back garden laugh

Erm, that guy had multiple cameras, pointing all over the place and into his neighbours property. Not just a ring camera doorbell.
