Sorry - I got the prices wrong - the 4k is £34.99. It's the 4k Max that is £54.99.

I need to upgrade my fire stick for my streaming of PL games through the TV, was going to go for the 4k but what does the 4k Max do that the 4k doesn't?

My take on it, but I'm far from an expert, is that it just seems to be a bit more powerful!

I'm not sure I can see why I'd pay more for it, but I'm sure someone will soon correct that if I'm missing something!

Wonder if you could try that for a speed camera...

The judge has opened a can of worms with this - unless he has a camera pointed directly at her house to monitor her then I can't see what the issue is...

A more balanced report here: https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/13/amazon_ring_audio_recording_data_protection/

Seems the main problems were the number of cameras, the lies about the cameras and the lies about the reason for the cameras, the audio and the weird behaviour which amounted to harassment.

Apart from that, yes, you can get fined £100,000 just for having a Ring doorbell...

Thanks, that does clarify things a bit. And I appreciate there was more to it than merely having a Ring doorbell. It does open up a discussion on the whole data protection issue with these cameras though. Theoretically, if I lived across the road from you, or within the camera's field of vision, could I then request all the data you hold showing images of me going about my life in view of your camera under the current legislation?

Sounds like a lovely chap:

He described him as aggressive from the start. He said the Defendant told him that he knew Thames Valley Police well, the police were laughing about this matter, he had total support from the neighbours as everyone felt safer with the technology he discussed. He says that the Defendant then launched into a diatribe about how he was an expert installer of camera equipment for billionaires, had technology that “even the Chinese have no access to” and could “hack things”. He said that he regularly installed hidden cameras
in restaurants and that Dr Franich was naïve to believe that anyone really respected regulations in regard to CCTV installation. Dr Franich says that the Defendant then began to talk about the Claimant, and said she could “go to Hell”, and if she did not like his cameras she could “go and live down the drain”. He said that if she did not like his current cameras, “she would enjoy some of his future surveillance projects even less” and that he was going to install cameras “good enough to see the colour of her eyes”

I'm not an expert but... Yes, I believe that you could request everything that I had stored of you; recorded CCTV images from outside my own property are subject to GDPR. I would also need to ensure that any recordings that I handed over to you did not contain recognisable images of anyone else as that would breach their rights under GDPR.

As I said, I'm not an expert, but this suggests otherwise: https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...stic-cctv-using-cctv-systems-on-your-property particularly 3.4 and 3.6 which states:
Once you have installed your CCTV system, you should regularly check that you are complying with the GDPR and the DPA if your CCTV system captures images outside the boundaries of your home
