I wonder what started the Ring doorbell recording? As far as I know, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, Ring doorbells themselves do not continuously record, but only record when there is motion within your set “zone” or when there is a, well, ring of the doorbell. I went back through my Ring doorbells and in the several I looked at, the motion that set it off is visible within the first few seconds of the recording. I didn’t really see anything in the beginning of it, but that doesn’t mean the initiating event wasn’t edited out. However, it couldn’t have been the suspect because the truck doesn’t even enter the picture until several seconds after it starts.
There is a way a homeowner with the Ring app can do a “live” view and see what is going on outside the house within the camera’s view, regardless if there is motion or a doorbell ring. The video from your love view is saved in your dashboard. Surely when SB showed his Ring video to police they checked to see if, on the dashboard it said “Motion”, which is a recording initiated by motion in the preset zone but not viewed at the time the notification came up, “Answered Motion”, which means the recording was initiated by motion and the app user clicked on the notification as it popped up to view what was going on, or “Live View”, which means that an app user initiated the camera view on their own to see what might or might not be happening outside their front door.
