I’m shopping around for a front door camera and I wanted some input as far as security goes. I want a camera from a company that stores minimal to no personal information and doesn’t share user info with third parties.

I don’t really want to have to pay for cloud storage but if I have to and the company has a secure cloud storage model that would be fine, preferably it’d be nice to be able to store footage on my local file server but a mix of that and the ability to rent cloud storage would not be bad either.

Thanks in advance for your input.

    Specifically for the doorbell camera, I would avoid ubiquiti like a plague. There is a design flaw in their doorbell cam that causes the internal batteries to die in colder temperatures. Mine gave up after just under a year and I had to fight them tooth and nail to get it warrantied.

      I’ve heard the doorbell is bad, never used it.

      The data breaches are still up for debate, they’re suing an employee for making it all up. And they still wouldn’t qualify as worst in the industry by far IMHO.

      This is why I like them, everything stored on my own premises.
