I'm pissed because the whole point of an outdoor camera is to not advertise when someone is watching. If they don't back pedal on this I'm switching to ubiquity and running my own NVR so I don't have to worry about someone in california deciding to change how a product I own works.
- esotericn 7y agoPoE cams and a solution like Zoneminder is like <$50 per camera to set up, assuming you have a home server, which I'd think most hackers would anyway.
- heavenlyblue 7y ago>> is to not advertise when someone is watching. Are you doing a Ph.D in social sciences?
- post_break 7y agoWhy the snarky comment? When you're outside or on my property you have no expectation of privacy.
- cr0sh 7y agoCaution about "switching to ubiquity" - not that their product is bad or anything, but they take configuration of their stuff up several notches if you go with their commercial stuff (not sure about the home stuff). I had considered switching my home wireless system to using Ubiquity APs and other equipment - then I looked into their configuration software. As someone who doesn't hold a Cisco cert or anything of that nature, some of it made me feel really, really stupid (they have a "demo" of their application on their site - to try out the software first). I'm sure it all has a point in a large-scale commercial deployment, but for a home system it seems like massive overkill, and I was concerned that using it and not setting it up properly might lead me to misconfiguring it and opening my network up worse than without using it...
