One of the things I’ve successfully used YouTube for was video storage of my security camera system. Unlimited video storage with a simple app to watch them in case I need to check something out!
And it’s simple: camera uploads automatically via FTP, inotifywait script uploads to google!
- booi 4y agoShhhh.. don’t you know what the first rule about YouTube storage for security systems is??
- vinay_ys 4y agoRight this moment an engineer at Google is writing a personal OKR to block this and declare $$$ savings in order to get promoted next year.
- teawrecks 4y agoAll they'd have to do is limit the amount of private videos you're allowed to store. If your only option for storing unlimited security footage is to make it public, then people probably wouldn't do that. Alternatively, if they're allowed to use the footage to train some AI that will help them take over the world, then maybe they want all your random footage for free.
- userbinator 4y agoSecurity cameras are usually low-framerate and compress highly anyway, due to not much happening between each frame, so I doubt it's going to be a significant cost in comparison to all the other, far more massive content which is also constantly being uploaded.
