Fucking. Told. You. So. Over and over again, I talk to people about this shit, but no one really seems to get the existential risk, let along the actual realtime ones. CCTV security does not need to be internet connected.
Don’t install cameras inside your homes, whether it’s facing your yard, inside your garage, and especially not inside your living/sleeping areas. These programs are not secure, your terminals are not secure, the networks which transmit the data are not secure. If you don’t want a play-by-play of your argument with your SO, kids, or other family members, let alone footage of you fucking each other or rubbing one out, don’t fucking install cameras in your home.
Years later: “We’re going to mount similar shit-security wireless camera systems on our personal vehicles to record everything around us on a second-by-second basis. What’s the worst that could happen?”

Welp, I was planning to buy a Nexar dual-cam (front and cabin-facing). I didn't know their cameras could transmit data and aren't local only. Time to look for another option.
