    Can’t take them down, as I have none… I kinda value my privacy.

    Not to blame anyone here, but I have a hard time understanding how this could ever be considered a smart idea by anyone, even worse when it’s to be used inside one’s home?

    Edit: typo.

      The video shows that even security cameras by companies like ADT will spy on you. Apparently 2/3 of US households have outdoor security cameras, and 1/3 have internal security cameras.

      Most people probably don’t know how to set up their own secure entirely local security camera setup, so they just hire it done, which almost always means connecting it to a corporate cloud.

        As someone starting to live offgrid sometimes I’m interested in setting up outdoor cameras for security, would you point me in a direction to how to do a local security camera setup so it won’t connect to a corporate cloud?

        The idea of having a security camera inside my house is totally insane to me. Convenient to have them outside but inside? What purpose can that possibly serve?

          I have one single camera inside my home. I’m very careful about how it is positioned so that it can only see exactly what I want it to see. I adjust it so that no person is visible at any time, except maybe feet walking by.

          I have this camera pointed directly at my rabbits litter box and hay bin. Rabbits can get very sick, very quickly and knowing when they last ate and pooped is a massive benefit when they have stomach issues. A rabbit not eating for 2 hours vs 12 hours is a big difference.

          Gas for rabbits can be deadly, not eating is a huge warning sign for rabbit health. 2 hours is something I can treat at home, 12 hours will likely require a trip to the emergency vet. The camera has already saved me thousands in emergency vet fees.
