This is a mischaracterization of the capabilities of these systems. The devices themselves detect motion and activity like people and vehicles and send only those relevant clips for processing. When you view the clips in the app they are streaming from the cloud so clearly the bandwidth capabilities exist. The video is then further processed and indexed for things like face, gait, and vehicle identification. This is much smaller than the raw video which can be deleted after it is fingerprinted. Ring has already been in trouble for misusing the video footage they record from user devices. This is not new or mysterious capability. It’s pedestrian, literally.
