I got some ring cameras for Christmas, they are still and will remain in their box.
I’ve been looking at options from ubiquiti though.
Too late, broken trust cannot be repaired.
Sold my Ring cameras when this was announced a few months ago. Went with Reolink and am local storage only now (with personal remote access).
I am done with this cloud storage nonsense for most of these tech companies. As the commenter said, trust is (and quite frankly has been) broken.
I love watching dumb ass companies just completely air ball it
What are some closed circuit security camera options? I want something that is just a direct feed that can be manually wiped and no internet.
I run a home camera system, this is how it works:
1. All cameras are wired (POE) only. There is no wifi.
2. The wired cameras are on a separate and isolated VLAN. No internet access is available on that VLAN
3. The VLAN is connected on a local computer in my home. It runs the NVR. It’s the only computer that has access to the cameras directly.
4. On an entirely separate interface, I run a wiregaurd VPN.
5. My phone is the only one with keys to the VPN. The only way to see the footage on the cameras is via the key on my phone only.
Right.
Nice optics! Problem is… both Flock and edit: Google (parent company of Nest) have government contracts. A lot. They don’t need to communicate, they just send it to the source (the feds).
They stopped their public partnership, but you’re dumb if you think they’ve stopped working together.
lol there are so many regular doorbells to choose from!
Too little too late
That Super Bowl ad was like the Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad in regard to horrible dystopian marketing, but worse. I’m sure the heads are gonna roll for now but ultimately, they’ll find another time and another partner to basically do the same thing but with a different presentation.
There are a lot of software tools that integrate „traditional“ cameras into HomeKit, allowing you to retain your privacy.
„walked back“ for now.
This will get revisited at some point.
*temporarily suspends until attention dies down
But you’re too late!
Subscription bs, can’t read it
Reolink is doing just fine at my house.
Anyone who believes they aren’t going to still collect data please DM me. I have some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale.
So they will just share in secret then?
I do not trust them and do not believe them.
Get rid of them anyways
I smell bullshit
Jesus H Christ, could that site have more popup overlays? I counted four before I managed to read one sentence… so I closed the tab.
What an own-goal. Wrote content interesting enough to get a click, then aggressively chased the audience away immediately.
*”Following a comprehensive review, we determined the planned Flock Safety integration would require **significantly more time and resources** than anticipated. We therefore made the joint decision to cancel the integration and continue with our current partners … The integration never launched, so no Ring customer videos were ever sent to Flock Safety.”*
Emphasis mine.
Yea…it was the required “time and resources” that was the issue. Sure, Jan…
Riggggggght
Are they cancelling the Search Party system?
Can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.
Good. People, do yourself a favor and learn to self host!!
It’s not that tough now days to just hook up a non subscription based doorbell camera that stores data to a local server. You can google the steps to accomplish this and I think most folks would be surprised. There are several good options for brands. I use Aqara
