British audio-visual technician faces fine of RM568,000 after judge rules his use of Ring cameras broke the law

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 ― An audio-visual technician in Thame, UK, faces a fine of £100,000 after a judge ruled that his use of Ring cameras broke data laws.

The judge also took particular issue with the camera's audio range, concluding: “I am satisfied that the extent of range to which these devices can capture audio is well beyond the range of video that they capture, and in my view cannot be said to be reasonable for crime prevention. Security experts are now urging the over 100,000 households in UK which have installed doorbell cameras to take all possible steps to ensure that their devices aren't unintentionally recording other people in their homes or gardens.

“We've put features in place across all our devices to ensure privacy, security, and user control remain front and centre ― including customisable Privacy Zones to block out 'off-limit' areas, Motion Zones to control the areas customers want their Ring device to detect motion and Audio Toggle to turn audio on and off.”

“To now be told these are harassment devices feels like a joke and I myself feel like I am being harassed. Many of my neighbours have cameras and smart doorbells.”
