Dammit, I fell for rings assurances of “only in response to a warrant”. Mostly out of laziness, but still ….. I really am going to have to figure out self hosting a video doorbell, aren’t i

    Bare in mind that the government requires a warrant to obtain data against you, the barrier in which to get a warrant requires probable cause.

    Obtaining data about you from a company only requires a subpoena if the company doesn't cooperate.

    BUYING data about you from the same company is completely allowed.

    Until we get privacy laws, we are truly fucked.

    Ubiquiti offers a product that will do that out of the box iirc but I have no idea if it's good.

    Still ring has been handing stuff to the cops for years at this point. They only "stopped" recently and I guess started again.

    1. You need to host a controller for it. It needs the Protect platform to interface with. You can host that for free.
    2. The hardware is fine.
    3. The included app is marginal
    4. it supports onifv and can be added to blue-iris or frigate.
