The video shows that even security cameras by companies like ADT will spy on you. Apparently 2/3 of US households have outdoor security cameras, and 1/3 have internal security cameras.

Most people probably don't know how to set up their own secure entirely local security camera setup, so they just hire it done, which almost always means connecting it to a corporate cloud.

I think the premise of easy access to a live feed of your pet at home or just your house while you're out of town is straightforward enough

The ease of use. Setting up IP cameras to be safety accessed from outside your local network is not easy for most people. And there are legitimate uses even in the home.

I'm currently working on getting things all switched over to POE IP cameras, contained in a separate VLAN behind an instance of frigate. Your average consumer's brains would have been dribbling from their ear before the comma in that last sentence.

Dude is all over the place and I kinda love it. From his teardown of capitalism, his insight on how music streaming platforms take advantage of musicians, to making spacey dream music with an antique model train control board, to an in depth analysis in how cicadas make noise, and now becoming a privacy activist and amateur white hat hacker. It's crazy

but they're still there physically as a deterrent, hopefull

This is a smart move

I installed the ubiquity one since I already had the udm pro.

I went with a waterproof usb webcam fed through the wall and connected to a raspberry pi with motioneye

Best one imo is steam game saves

Until they figure out how to have AI build profiles based on Steam game saves.

I use a Raspberry Pi with two external usb cameras running MotionEyeOS. It’s easy to flash to a micro SD and I got a waterproof box to keep the pie dry.

Home assistant can use basically any device with a camera, if you have an old phone or smth

Some people have a box for packages for that.
I'm also a fan of putting a fake package out full of dog shit... Just put a fake address on it and they won't remember where it came from.
I think think might be illegal...
Or you could put a package with a tracker in it.

I've been very happy with Reolink so far - it works with Home Assistant so can be (is) self hosted through with a server as well as the onboard SD card.

He does show that wireless cameras WiFi activity can be used to track people inside their home. But that seems like a targeted attack, not necessarily something that would be used for mass surveillance. But locally hosting the footage removes you from almost all the issues in general and what's brought up in this video. Just ideally you'd run the cameras over PoE.

The video is focused on cloud/internet enabled security cameras. A security system that isn't internet accessible and only stores footage locally is not of any concern unless you think someone would break into your house to take the HDD's themselves.
