The concept separation of concerns I apply every where, and I like my dashcam not connected to any cloud, if I ever needed a footage, I’ll just take it from the sdcard.
- h0l0cube 3y ago> I’ll just take it from the sdcard What about in the situation of a theft?
- AHOHA 3y agoI will check the garage CCTV cam.
- seized 3y agoExcept for malls, grocery stores, events, train station, movie theaters... Work...
- AHOHA 3y agoIf you live in an area with a high probability of getting your car stolen, you better protect your investment properly and install a gnss tracker, not just it is more reliable, accurate, and use way less data on your cellular plan, but also you can hide it and conceal it in a location (like near the engine) that you have a better chance to find your car before the tracker is found, unlike a dashcam, that will obviously consume more data, but also the first thing will be thrown out of the window after the successful robbery.
- jgerrish 3y agoYeah, you could work around this with anti-tamper APIs and trip-wires and tech solutions to secure your phone. But then you're playing an arms-race game against inventive thieves with jammers and portable Faraday cages. Another solution is legal. Make a dashcam phone a "Protected Insurance Entity" or some shit. Maybe have it always streaming as part of some Citizens on Patrol Star Watcher campaign. Bump the punishment to federal level insurance fraud. Jesus, this fucking future. Obviously, we will save lives, and that is great. It just takes one drunk driver and one teddy bear falling from the sky. I imagined a future hopping between cyber corps if you have that power. But this feels different.
- saagarjha 3y agoYou might be able to get your employer to share parking lot footage?
- michaelt 3y agoDashcams are generally for recording collisions, rather than thefts. After all, if you're parking in a high crime area - would you leave your smartphone on display in the front windscreen?
- bombolo 3y agoThen it would not contain any traffic accident footage?

- lern_too_spel 3y agoNothing in the settings shows any way to upload the videos to the cloud.
- paranoidrobot 3y agoThere's a good chance that it'll save to a folder which is synced with Google Drive.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoCloud backups are e2e encrypted. If you mean it's using a mechanism other than cloud backups, that wouldn't make sense because the user would have to at least agree to their storage being used.
- AHOHA 3y agoNot necessarily the video itself -although I don’t even trust google studio app-, but the meta data google will collect: when did you use the cam, duration, location, and other data that will be collected “to enhance the service” that’s already crap from the get go.
- borissk 3y agoI'm all for privacy, but if you have your Pixel phone on you it will already send a ton of data to Google, even without using it as a dashcam.
- hackernewds 3y agobut not use my camera
- mattlondon 3y agoThere are anecdotes if minor crashes there the other person threatens the person with the dash cam to hand over footage. Good luck with getting stabbed.
- hackernewds 3y agoAnecdata is not data.
- pjc50 3y agoFine, I'll tape a knife to the dashcam in case of emergency. (this is a joke, HN)
- AHOHA 3y agoSounds very British!
- yamtaddle 3y agoI like this British musician named Jake Bugg. He's got a song about going to this house party at some criminal's house and one line is about a friend taking him aside and warning him, gravely, that everyone there's got a knife. It almost ruins the song as an American, because the line's just hilarious. "Everyone has a knife? What, you mean like literally any gathering of adults whatsoever that doesn't have bouncers patting people down and/or metal detectors? Everyone has a knife at the grocery store for god's sake!" (Not literally everyone, of course, but it's entirely normal, non-threatening, and fairly common to carry a pocket knife or knife-including-multitool in the US—anywhere you go that's not screening for metal objects, some of the people there probably have knives, it's not on anyone's radar as something to be worried about. It's like being warned that everyone's wearing underwear, or something)
- mattlondon 3y agoThey're not talking about multitools. These sort of things are what they mean: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=zombie+knife&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=zombie+knife&iax=images&ia=images

- polski-g 3y agoYou don't want your dashcam uploaded to the cloud because if you caused the accident, you need to be able to delete the evidence.
