If you think you don't need an outdoor camera—or have one and rarely check the footage on it—allow the clips ahead to change your mind. Earlier this month, a runner during the Boston Marathon was caught doing a number two in a stranger's yard. In the clip that went viral on Twitter, it appears the homeowner stared the intruder down, eventually prompting the marathoner to leave the yard and get back to the race. Home Alarm Security System
It's a story you wouldn't believe—if the existing footage didn't prove it. And it's a (gross) reminder that, without a security system, you never really know what's going on around your home. To prove that certainly anything is possible, the whole-home security brand has set up a YouTube channel featuring a range of Ring Doorbell videos.
When you click over to the feed, you'll find the wildest videos, including a black bear attempting to get into a chicken coop and a raccoon getting scared off by a cat. You'll see the aftermath of another unexpected animal encounter starring a little girl who ran to her neighbor's house after she saw a bobcat roaming around the neighborhood. It's not all Animals Gone Wild, though. There are plenty of fun human tricks, too, like this adorable video of a kid showing off some dance moves in front of a Ring camera.
Are these must-see moments convincing you to install a Ring Doorbell of your own? Depending on the model, Ring can go as low as $38.99—which a whopping 40 percent from the original price. However, if you prefer the latest model, you'll only have to shell out an affordable $99.99 to enjoy the peace of mind of knowing exactly what's happening in your public restroom at-home zoo yard.
