In most states and federally, one party consenting to a recording is sufficient, so in those cases it doesn't matter that you, the visitor, give consent.

In states with two party consent laws, I think you're required to have signage or other explicit message that declares recording is in progress (this may be different for residential properties): a Ring logo may not be sufficient.



There’s usually an option to not record audio in the software because in the states that require consent of all parties, audio recording is usually still not allowed without explicit consent of everyone in a non public location even if a notice is placed.


What about a 3rd party? You give consent to the homeowner, but do you also give consent to Amazon?


One party is sufficient. Whether you give consent -- to anyone -- doesn't matter. Your interlocutor is free to consent anyway.


AFAIK there is only one state with single party consent.
