    Yes, it hosts all the videos & screenshots.

    I know we’re supposed to hate subscriptions, but until I get more cameras and self host, paying for the 1 doorbell was rather quick and simple, and temporarily worth it.

        You also typically agree that you have the permission to use the likeness of anyone that walks in front of their cameras for their commercial purposes. The liabilty is shifted onto the user, just like when you share your contacts with WhatsApp.
