    I take my dog for a walk in my neighborhood and walk by no less than 10 different camera setups, and those are the ones I actually notice. Paranoia has led us down the road to a post-privacy society.

      Lol ya and all that video footage is owned by the company of those cameras, like Ring aka Amazon. They can access it at anytime and they can even give it to the police.

        I’ve been thinking of getting a camera setup, but all the popular stuff is cloud crap, and the best options seem to be Chinese crap that I wouldn’t trust on my network, so I’ll need a separate network for them.

        It’s a pain! Why can’t I just get the popular hardware and just disable the stuff I don’t want?

        It’s frustrating that nearly everything is either a security risk, a privacy risk, or a vendor lock-i, and often all three.

          Look into ubiquiti stuff. Keep in mind it’s prosumer/near enterprise equipment though, so has a higher cost associated with it.

        And Amazon definitely hasn’t ever provided police with any unrestricted access to whatever footage they want!
