  i’ve even received them as gifts (very expensive ones) but i just threw it in the trash

    They also wouldn’t have noticed that they hadn’t installed it. Honesty in the best policy.

  I do my own onvif cameras but I gifted a ring doorbell to my niece for her apartment. She’s non technical, I can’t support her remotely, and that safety was more important than the loss of privacy of a camera looking out onto a public street.

    The loss of privacy of a camera that records every face that enters your home and timestamps that data…
