This is people taking a trade off. Security for Privacy slider.
- homonculus1 7y agoNo, it's convenience for privacy. There are plenty of ways to surveil your own home without networking the footage into police databases. It's just that you have to put a little effort in or pay someone else to set it up.
- r00fus 7y agoFor some people (dual income), it's more than convenience. As iPhone/AppStore proved, the trade off is time/skills. If you don't have the time or skills, and you wouldn't trust a local installer to set everything up right, you really don't have that option.
- Nebasuke 7y agoI think this is indeed a key point often missed in the conversations here. Just because there's a better (privacy) alternative, it still requires a time investment to find one. The alternative will likely require another time/skill investment over the marketed product to actually install it. When you're in a situation where time is scarce, like dual income, kid, etc, you clearly are optimising for other things than privacy or even money spent.
