“I was terrified. I literally could not move my body,” the woman said.
The woman gave WSBTV the video that has the man's voice yelling into the bedroom.
"Wake up!" the man yells at one point and starts clapping his hands.
"Hello! Hello! Come here, puppy," he says at another point on the video.
The woman, who asked not to be identified, said she and her boyfriend installed the camera, so they could keep a close eye on their dog Beau while they’re at work.
But on Monday evening…
“I was laying there and had just put him in his crate, and I hear a cough over the Ring camera,” the woman said. “I see the blue light come on, so I text my boyfriend saying, ‘Why are you watching?' We’re laying down, and we’re about to go to sleep, and he’s like, ‘What are you talking about?'”
Seconds later…
"I can see you in the bed! C'mon! Wake the [expletive] up!"
Scared for their safety, the couple reported the incident to Ring.
“I just want people to be aware. We got this Ring camera thinking about one thing --- watching our puppy. Not somebody looking at us,” the woman said.
WSBTV contacted Ring for a comment about this story. A spokesperson sent a statement saying:
“Ring should already have the safety precautions already set in place where you never have to worry about it,” the woman said.
The couple says when they went back and reviewed their history, they discovered that someone had hacked their account on four separate occasions.
Right now, it's unclear if it was the same person. They told WSBTV they plan to file a police report.
