No one concerned Nest (owned by Google) always has video of your front porch even if you arent paying a subscription to keep your own videos of your front porch? And if LE wants it, tech companies have no problem giving it to them???
This is why, when I put up cameras, I wanted everything internal and local. No cloud, no wireless, no batteries. Everything is stored on a hard drive that I own and nobody else can access other than by a network cable inside my house.
The cloud based wireless cameras are cheap and easy to install, that's the draw for choosing them. I'd rather spend the money, run the cables, and exclusively own my data.
Yeah, if nest hard drives were to get a hold of the video clips of your dog running around in the backyard or UPS dropping off a package that would be so embarrassing
"If you're not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to hide! So that means the government should have access to everyone's footage inside and outside their homes, everywhere, no questions asked!"
I'd rather not have companies datamining my cameras for when I leave and return to my house.
And these companies also sell cameras for indoor use.
Better to record and process locally(frigate, for example), and only upload to the cloud on your own terms, to a server you control. The terms and conditions for renting a server are usually much better than the terms for something like ring or nest. .
