We decided not to include video recording in our initial launch. We wanted to put a focus on privacy first. The moment that we record and store video somewhere we are creating a potential disconnect in privacy. This is a weighty responsibility that we are taking very seriously. If/when we provide this feature, we want to implement it in a way that is safest for our customers and the integrity of their privacy.
Thanks for the feedback about privacy. We'll be working on some messaging to communicate how and why UView is secure and private and to provide more transparency into how our platform works.
- netsharc 7y agoI wonder if the browser can do continuous recording to disk, I know Mega (mega.nz) does some sort of magic with client-side JS so it's not the browser just writing bytes it's getting from the HTTP connection, it's writing bytes to disk given to it by the JS. If the browser doesn't know how big the HTTP download is, it just writes and writes to disk, I wonder if that's possible with the fancy HTML5 save-to-disk.
- mcjord 7y agoThis is something we are also investigating. Our goal is to have recording happen on the device, and save directly to the device. We have made some great breakthroughs with this but are still in the R&D phase. This is our ideal solution, though.
- rosege 7y agoWhats the use-case for this then? Without recording using it for security is fairly limited. Do you see it more as a pet/baby monitor?
- geoffchan23 7y agoIt is definitely a more specific use case than most security cameras. Currently, we use it as more of a real time monitoring tool. Me and my wife use it as a quick baby monitor for our 1 year old when he is taking naps :)
