Running cables is not possible in lots of homes and there are plenty of wired cameras that send video to corporate clouds. The mistake is allowing those corporations access to those videos. Camera output should be encrypted and only usable for the camera owner unless they choose to opt in to the corporate spy network.
Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras?

WiFi connected cameras were a mistake. Although, if people are going to use these mass surveillance devices, using it to find dogs is great. It needs cat detection too.

Double so, when people are doing auto thefts in neighborhoods, they’re using wifi jammers to block out the footage
