Bare in mind that the government requires a warrant to obtain data against you, the barrier in which to get a warrant requires probable cause.
Obtaining data about you from a company only requires a subpoena if the company doesn’t cooperate.
BUYING data about you from the same company is completely allowed.
Until we get privacy laws, we are truly fucked.
It’s easy to do. Mine is a reolink piped through Home Assistant.
Ubiquiti offers a product that will do that out of the box iirc but I have no idea if it’s good.

Only problem with the Ubiquiti offering is that it offers no storage, you need a controller with storage installed.
I mean that is expected, though I guess that is my bias. I just meant that is was more “layman” than running your own storage system.

Remember people: Proprietary systems are never yours. And in this case, you are theirs.
