Neighbour watching me on ring doorbell

My neighbour keeps watching me through their ring doorbell. I’ve asked them to stop (via the doorbell when they were watching me) but they’re continuing to watch me.

they’re definitely watching, rather than just the doorbell being triggered by motion, as the blue light comes on. They’re not very tech savvy so I don’t think they realise that a blue light is on.

I’ve got multiple photos of their doorbell with the blue light from the last few months. Including a video where I asked the doorbell to stop watching me that shows the blue and red lights going off after my request.

I'm starting to feel harassed and think this is in response to the previous issues we’ve had with a fence. (See old post if you’re interested)

where do I go from here?

So there were 100-200 motions in your garden yesterday? Or have you not set up the boundaries so it only records your property?

Not in my garden - in front of my entrance door.

We live in an urban area.

I'd wave at her really enthusiastically every time the curtain twitches.

I should do but I don't have the balls. My brother accidentally locked eyes with her for a few secs as he was getting out of the car. When she realised he was looking directly back at her, she backed away quickly from the window.
Yet her shadow still hovers behind the blinds. I don't think she realises that we can see her. We are not doing anything mildly interesting so I don't get it. Our lives are boring.

Yeah good luck with that one. They don’t have to give it to you at all. What a load of nonsense. The neighbours can request it the same way anyone can request anything but there’s no enforceable law that states doorbell cams residents HAVE to share footage. What do you think would happen if they refused?

I have a ring doorbell for safety, it benefits the whole street. My neighbours think I have it to spy on them. Even though I had it before they moved in. Fucking nutters

They might also not have the footage. Not everyone pays the ring subscription. So even though they can see things in real time, the clips don’t get saved unless you pay for Ring to store them.

Think of how boring hers must be if she spends time watching you.

I wonder who's watching her?
The spider in the corner? And who's watching the spider....?

My friend has a ring doorbell and she was telling me that she can have the light off on her bell and record and she doesn't have to pay a subscription either as I am looking to get one.
