It wasn't long ago that you could walk down the street without being video recorded by someone's doorbell. Not anymore. Now, as the popularity of the home security devices surge—more than 3 million U.S. homes will install them in 2019, according to estimates by Parks Associates—privacy concerns are also on the rise.

From the article "Privacy, Civil Rights Groups Press Amazon’s Ring to End Its Local Police Partnerships" by Lisa Marie Segarra.
