wow, did you read the privacy statement.... For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like videos (“IP Content”), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to the limitations set forth in our Privacy Policy: you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty- free, worldwide license to use any IP Content that you post on or in connection with Perch. So anything you record using their service will be theirs!

Yeah, this is an insane TOS. Not sure what they were thinking with that, probably boilerplate they didn't think through.

This is standard boilerplate for all content-hosting services. It gives them permission to handle the video in the product. And also to use it however else they want. YouTube, for example: https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms """ By submitting Content to YouTube, you hereby grant YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the Content in connection with the Service and YouTube's (and its successors' and affiliates') business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. """

  YouTube is a different situation because content you put there is usually intended to be broadcast anyway; security camera recordings are not.

That text doesn't seem to be there anymore. But still scary, the first paragraph says: "We won’t share or store any personal information unless required for the operation of Perch" Then later on: "We receive and store any Personal Information and IP Content you enter or upload to our Service." Making the 1st one redundant.
