I'm no expert, but I believe this is down to the individual member states.

In my country (the NL) it is technically not allowed to film the public street with an automated camera, which effectively makes Ring and equivalents illegal to install in most places

Practically this is not really enforced though, so you see them everywhere anyway.

    It's indeed not enforced here, but on top of that the police would really like to know that you have cameras filming public space.

    Not so they can do something about it, but so they know they can come to you to ask for footage if something happens.

    Turn off the motion sensor and only use the push activation, that wouldn’t break the “auto” recording portion. There’s always exemptions, security and law professionals wouldn’t be left without a way to assist themselves.
