While I share your concerns about the security implications of sending video to the cloud, the way I see it if someone's burgling my house they're probably going to steal whatever I'm using for on-prem video storage while they're at it.
And while I could secure it in an impenetrable or hidden box - if I have such a box I can put all my valuables in the box, and feel peace of mind without needing any cameras.
- mv4 2y agoThese are good points. The main problem we're solving for people is real-time awareness and automation/prevention. The device monitors your cameras locally (no cloud), notifies you, and/or performs actions locally (play barkingdog.mp3, close gates, turn on the lights, etc) that act as a deterrent. Even if your uplink is down. Now, if someone's broken in, that's a different problem. You want video evidence for investigative purposes. The device is small, energy efficient (10-20W typically) and can be easily hidden (provided you supply power and LAN ethernet to it). The storage is encrypted. And we'll be introducing an option for your own offsite backup (again, optional and not centralized). Interesting problem for sure.
- theendisney 2y agoThere are many other applications. Even fake cameras work. My cat sometimes decides to gather his own food and not go inside for days. He does bother to check his teratory for intruders. Shady figures and actual con men ringing my bell. Missed deliveries real or lies. Arguments with the significant other about who said what. A drunk englishman sleeping in my garden and other truly hilarious footage.
