I guess it depends on how you view it. For me, it stopped doing what it always did for me, when MS bought it. It used to be dead simple, make calls on shitty airport wifi. Chat messaging that worked reliably. I used it for dead simple group

Even if it does have phone-home functions, why does the camera itself need internet access? IMO, audit the hardware for wireless radios (PoE cameras shouldn't have them), and put them on a camera-only VLAN that can only talk to the vid
