Governmental agencies such as the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, and state and local law enforcement agencies are known to intrude upon the private telecommunications of innocent inhabitants, collect a huge amount of data regarding who people call, and create data bases of what they consider suspicious activities, based on the unclear criteria.

A waterproof button assembly 1102 is formed in the button opening 710 on the front cover plate 708 of the device housing 702, and a button top 706 of the button assembly 1102 is exposed from the button opening 710. The front cover plate 708 of the device housing 702 may be made of a single piece of material e. g. , glass and plastic having the button opening 710, or a stack of material pieces e. g. , each made of glass or plastic that are aligned and have the button opening 710. In some implementations, the front cover plate 708 includes a camera opening 712 configured to expose the lens assembly 704. A top edge of the lens assembly 704 e. g. , a periphery of a cover glass 705 of the lens assembly 704 forms a water tight seal with an edge of the camera opening 712. Alternatively, in some implementations, the front cover plate 708 may not have the camera opening, but includes at least a substantially transparent area 712.

Amazon's promotional videos show people lurking around homes, and the company recently posted a job opening for a managing news editor to "deliver breaking crime news alerts to our neighbors. ""Amazon is profiting off of fear," said Chris Gilliard, an English professor at Michigan's Macomb Community College and a prominent critic of Ring and other technology that he says can reinforce race barriers. Part of the strategy seems to be selling the cameras "where the fear of crime is more real than the actual existence of crime. "The cameras offer a wide view from wherever they are positioned. Homeowners get phone alerts with streaming video if the doorbell rings or the device's heat sensors detect a person or a passing car. Ring's basic doorbell sells for $99, with recurring charges starting at $3 a month for users who want footage stored. Ring says it stores the recordings for two months. Many law enforcement agencies nationwide said the idea to partner with Ring came after the company promoted its product at law enforcement conferences. Some departments have chosen to simply use Ring's Neighbors app, which encourages residents to share videos of suspicious activity. Other agencies agreed to provide subsidies, matched by Ring, to offer hundreds of discounted cameras in hopes of tapping into footage of residential streets, yards and sidewalks. And some police chiefs raffle off the devices.
