      In other words, the government can get access to the footage on any Google Nest via backdoor. That’s comforting.

      Said to my wife last night that they are recording everything regardless of the service you do or don’t pay for. Couple this with the ring announcement of a network of cameras to find lost animals, we are pretty much screwed.

    3. Wasn’t it reported that she also didn’t have an active subscription? So even if you’re not paying they’re still uploading your recordings…. What other purpose would they have for that besides providing it to law enforcement?

      For security guy here. I think a lot of people are confusing this. It’s on-device storage, not some backend that needed to be wrangled.

      Nest cameras and doorbells primarily use cloud storage, but newer models (battery/wired 2nd gen) feature a local, temporary memory buffer that holds up to one hour of event footage during Wi-Fi outages. This data automatically uploads to the cloud once connectivity is restored. They do not support SD cards for permanent local storage.

      I hate people who willingly helped usher us into a surveillance state by getting Ring and Nest cameras. hooray, you prevented porch pirates from stealing your k-cups or laundry detergent.

      If I live across the street from you, why do you get to film my house 24/7, unintentionally or not?

      Now that they’ve done it once, it’s reasonable to expect them to do it every time the government issues a warrant for footage. That’s both good and bad given the current federal administration.

      The image is of an individual with a firearm and no identification and made an American disappear. Sounds to me she was picked up by ICE. Watch in six months the government will „discover“ she was in their custody but have no clue what happened to her.

      This will be used as a feel-good story to justify surveillance. 

      Flock is already being framed as the magical camera that found the Rhode Island murderer last month.

      Self host your personal data. Big tech will sell you out for a buck, and this not something we weren’t all warned of years back

      This is a perfect time to remind everybody that you can install an NVR at your house and get rid of the shitty google and ring cameras. 

      Call your local security company and tell them you want real cameras. 

    11. Yeesh. I just ripped all the cables out to my nest cams. I wasnt using a subscription and this made me very uncomfortable 

    12. silentbob1301 on

      You know, I’ve been thinking about getting a ring cam…. Not so much anymore…

    13. Here at nest we horde your footage and we give it to our tech billionaire bros and the government but if you want to see what happened last week it’s impossible if your not paying us $99.95 a month.

      Oh…and you’re welcome.

      Nice that they get to charge us for something they’re going to do either way. What a crock of shit.

      You all are crazy. Instead of recognizing how this was super helpful you’re scared.

      I’d like to see one instance of this being used “badly”.

      Something like.. you murdered your neighbor and are mad the doorbell camera caught you? lol

      The amount of surveillance power we have handed over completely willingly astounds me.

    17. The real news here is even if you have no way to see your old videos and they claim they’re „deleted“ – they’re keeping and storing them and sharing them with whoever asks.

    18. BootlegBabyJsus on

      “Backend systems” so they keep storing video for the surveillance state, even sans subscription. Awesome

    19. thewildbeej on

      This and finding pets is how to get the masses to accept a total surveillance state.

    20. Ilikehotdogs1 on

      It’s kinda crazy how many people are upset over surveillance from cameras voluntarily installed on their homes. What if this was your mother kidnapped? Would your feelings change about this topic?

    21. sunbeatsfog on

      I worked in tech, nothing is “deleted”. It’s deleted from certain levels of access.

    22. I imagine Google probably isn’t keen on admitting they store everything regardless of having a subscription or not.

      Still, you can assume this is the case.

    23. This is why I have my own private server to store videos. It’s a bit more expensive on the front end but no subscription and private.
