Comment on Wyze says camera breach let 13,000 customers briefly see into other people’s homes

Using Wyze is a choice that has trade-offs and it’s up to the user to understand what those are.

For example, if you aren’t able, or willing, to selfhost an NVR, then accept that these situations may arise and decide which video feeds are ones you’re willing to take that risk with.

Video feeds of your backyard, are significantly different then those of your bedroom, or living areas.

I’ve got one on the sump pump and crawl space. China is welcome to monitor that and report anything interesting

  Exactly. Don’t have cheap web cams pointed inside the home, and it’ll be fine. Have them outside, watching doors and gates, providing ~~security~~ videos of shadows and wildlife, whatever. They can still be useful tools.

I disagree, you can't expect everyone to be technologically literate enough to understand the consequences of everything. And you can't palm it off by saying "well they need to/should". Much like expecting people to understand and read every single EULA that everyone always scrolls down and hits "accept"
At some point legislation needs to be drafted yo make it very clear the consequences, or legislate to ensure privacy so companies can't do this.

Do you mean that Wyze has a self-hosted NVR option? If so, that’d be awesome for me…

  I was referring to those who use Wyze’s default cloud storage.
  
  SOME Wyze models are compatible with 3rd party software/firmware to switch to a selfhosting model, but again, it depends on the model and firmware version.

  Yes, all my V2s and even a v3 was able to run Frigate on Home Assistant.

    Hey Im just setting up Frigate, are you using a Coral board? The claims about perfomance seem nuts and I just want to know how easy it is to integrate or how necessary it is, my HA setup is a little more obscure so if I could get away without needing one that would be great

    Do you know if the smart doorbell is the same? Received one from the in-laws for Christmas but haven’t done anything yet.
