      Once a futuristic luxury, internet-connected home cameras have become reasonably common — and relatively cheap. Around 33 million American households — 27% — now use the cameras, according to an estimate from Parks Associates.

      For consumers, the benefit is clear: Constant or near-constant surveillance that can catch burglars in the act and provide clarity on anything that happens outside their homes. But with these systems almost always relying on cloud-based storage and analysis, many technologists have noted that they are ripe for abuse, particularly as they become more complicated and attached to increasingly advanced analysis systems.

      For many people, the fact that doorbell cameras capture not just private homes, but also the immediate area around them brings up worries that they are contributing to a broader surveillance state. Increasingly more public space is constantly monitored and archived by tech companies who may share that footage with the government.

      The FBI’s publication of videos from Nancy Guthrie’s Google Nest doorbell camera has reinvigorated questions that have dogged big tech companies as they have become a larger part of people’s daily lives: How much data are these devices collecting? What happens to that data? Is it ever truly deleted?

      Remember that the FBI and Google recovered footage from her doorbell even though the woman did not have a subscription to their recording service.

      So….even if you don’t pay for the service, they STILL record you and save the footage anyway. Think about that for a minute.

      A quick reminder  that in George Orwell’s „1984“, it’s mentioned in passing that the tele-screen surveillance devices that were everywhere in the book, spying on people for The State to keep them in line, were originally privately purchased consumer tech that people bought with their own money as entertainment devices. One of the characters in the book mentions that when these things first came out, he and his wife didn’t have one because they were too expensive and they couldn’t afford one.

      the real issue isnt the cameras themselves its that the footage ends up on corporate servers with zero transparency about who accesses it. ring literally handed footage to police without warrants before they got caught. „smart home security“ is just crowdsourced surveillance with better marketing
