    Dammit, I fell for rings assurances of “only in response to a warrant”. Mostly out of laziness, but still …… I really am going to have to figure out self hosting a video doorbell, aren’t i

      Sorry, wasn’t meant as a slight against you.

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

      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.

      Ubiquiti offers a product that will do that out of the box iirc but I have no idea if it’s good.

      Still ring has been handing stuff to the cops for years at this point. They only “stopped” recently and I guess started again.

        Only problem with the Ubiquiti offering iirc 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.
