How do tenants react to a landlord installing a Ring?

Just closed on my first rental property and I'm curious about security options. I'm considering installing a Ring and letting prospective tenants know when they apply that both I and they will have access to the video.

Has anyone does something similar with their properties? Did applicants / tenants react positively to the security element, or react more negatively about privacy concerns?

Thanks!

     If it is multifamily, having cameras outside or in common areas is reasonable. If it is a single family property, having access to the video is creepy and a privacy overreach.
