"There's a growing focus on who gets to control the data, how it's used, and how it's protected. When you think about your home, what we're really securing is your home and your family. Those videos are capturing things that are inherently private to you."
"The anxiety is no longer hypothetical. During Super Bowl LX, Ring aired a commercial meant to be heartwarming about a lost dog, with AI cameras rallying the neighborhood to help. Instead, it went viral for all the wrong reasons, with viewers calling it 'dystopian' and vowing to ditch the product entirely."
Concerns about privacy and data control in home surveillance are rising among consumers. Hilary Schneider, CEO of SimpliSafe, emphasizes the importance of securing homes and families while ensuring that surveillance data is not misused.

This led to public protests against companies like Flock Safety, reflecting a growing unease about the sharing of surveillance footage with authorities without consent.
