It's a necessity for some cases. I commented on this elsewhere, but for me it's having an eye on my elderly parents back yard in case of falls. Past history of not knowing is precisely why we got the camera.
- ronnier 6y agoYou can still keep them local and use a VPN. That's what I do.
- contravariant 6y agoPeople really should. It's pretty easy these days with wireguard or tailscale. Just plug a raspberry pi somewhere with network and power and you're set.
- pugworthy 6y agoI spend my day doing the "tech shit" for work. I don't want to mess with stuff, I just want it to work. I'm willing to risk a bit of security for it to "just work", which it has now for multiple years. Without any security issues (so far).
- contravariant 6y agoI completely agree, even though I do tinker around with stuff for fun. However in my experience so far wireguard and tailscale (which is based on wireguard) are the kind of solutions that just work with little to no oversight.
- SilverRed 6y agoIts still on the internet though. Its just the VPN becomes the security barrier. Although if you keep it up to date, its going to be safer than iot crap
