"Nothing. It runs locally. Your footage never leaves your house."

Part of what I like about Ring is I can see who is AT my house while I'm away in real time.

Scene if I see intruders at my place on the system’s screen views.

I scanned through the website, but can’t find a list of cameras it works with. I have an NVR with half a dozen cameras, but I would switch to this if it is feasible.

Related to these crazy cameras...

Everytime I put my new car in reverse it shows a video of someone being run over!

What’s with that??

There are already many open source projects to take over your cloud-prisoned consumer cameras already, with zero fanfare. Which makes me a bit suspicious about this hyped one.

I have 2 security camera’s watching my house. They record motion activity on my smart phone. No on going cost. One is 7 years old, still works very good. I think my purchase cost was about $70 for both cameras.

I’ll give it a look. Out here in the sticks my 3 German Shepherds do a darn good job. Always better to be more secure than less.

Just today got my new Gigabyte X870E Elite X3D w 9900X loaded with ProxMox and moved my Windows underneath on its own nvme and the next thing about to install is Frigate to talk to my Amcrest cameras finally. Family and former colleagues - all like me - software developers, love Frigate. Total control and privacy - no sucking my video like Bling/Ring/Google/Amcrest, etc. Can’t want to try that Eufy.

Eufy has no subscription fees. Just buy the devices and you’re done. I have a bunch of them. Everything is stored locally.

We have a couple cameras at. my mother in laws house. She’s in assisted living and the home is unoccupied except when we or brother in law come.

It’s nice to be able to see if there are any visitors or intruders.

There are lots of good IP cameras out there. And, the best software I’ve found to run them all is I-Spy. And, it’s free. I’m still running the older version 64-7.2.6.0 and I’ve used it for years.
