Amazon's Ring doorbell unit, which makes videos of the outside of an owner's home, gave footage to law enforcement without the user's consent 11 times so far this year, the company said.
Amazon said it provided the video under emergency circumstances. U.S. Senator Edward Markey, a lawmaker interested in privacy, on Wednesday released a letter from Amazon on the topic that was a response to his inquiry to the company.
The company also said that it had 2,161 law enforcement agencies on its Neighbours Public Safety Service, which allows police and others to ask Ring owners for footage. In the letter, Huseman declined to specify when Ring technology can capture audio and how sensitive the audio recordings are. Users can easily disable audio.
