Comment on Is it time to ring the alarm on internet door cameras?
jdeath@lemm.ee 1 year agoit’s so funny to see people on lemmy who fell for cloud connected cameras. you’d think this group would be the last to fall for it, maybe not. i’ve even received them as gifts (very expensive ones) but i just threw it in the trash because that is better than anyone using it.

Wouldn’t it have been better to tell the gift giver that you’re really happy that they thought if you, but for security/moral reasons you don’t want to install it? At least they could have returned it and got their money back.
not really in that situation
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 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…

Recycle or upcycle. Trash is one of the dumbest uses. I understand the total logic it’s just not the best case scenario.
