Comment on Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar

  First of all, I was just speaking generally about security cameras, not specifically a ring, when responding to your comment about local storage being stupid for a security camera.

  Secondly not all Ring doorbells use an SD card slot or even have batteries. They can be wired directly to the home and save the data to another external device.

    The fuck does it even need a subscription for, anyway? Is it not hosting the videos locally? Fuck that.

    “It” being a “Doorbell with a subscription”, from the message you directly replied to. In a thread about a video doorbell from Aldi.

      Local hosting for a security camera is a rather terrible idea, because it can be defeated by stealing or breaking the camera.

      This is what I replied to with concern for storing security camera data locally. You didnt say this camera or Ring cameras, so your comment seems pretty fucking stupid and generic about all security cameras.
