Old news.
All my neighbors and I all have our cameras feeding to a central server. And that includes a few at tops of telephone poles and a few on top of a satellite reception tower. The on top of things cameras are hotel quality exterior cameras that still work fine but were replaced at various hotels due to an upgrade. Why??

Amazon's smart doorbell maker Ring has terminated a partnership with police surveillance tech company Flock Safety.

Ring and Flock said last year they were planning on working together to give Ring camera owners the option to share their video footage in response to law enforcement requests made through a Ring feature known as Community Requests.

“Following a comprehensive review, we determined the planned Flock Safety integration would require significantly more time and resources than anticipated,” Ring's statement said.

“The integration never launched, so no Ring customer videos were ever sent to Flock Safety.”

Uh huh....sure...
