Just heard on the nes abt Amazon sidewalk which includes " certain Ring Floodlight cam and Spotlight models as late as last year " .Along with compatible Amazon Echo devices will be added to the network Tuesday. I found this article that explains how it works and some security concerns . You can opt out , if you choose.

Thanks. I got something from Amazon about this, maybe a month ago, saying it was rolling out and I could opt out, but the option wasn't on my account at the time, so I forgot about it.

I was able to opt out yesterday.
