...it'll just keep recording and storing whatever it sees, forever?

Apparently.
No. But Google people can reconstruct the data code in the device itself.
One said Google only gets rid of it when it’s master storage gets too full-—a long time later.
Really? How is that possible?
I don’t think that’s legal without the owner’s consent. Or perhaps they still own the device, and you just rent it?
To a great extent, it makes sense that the cameras are sending data to the company servers whether you’re subscribed or not. It’d be a lot of trouble on their end to have a system in which they’re constantly differentiating subscribers’ cameras from non-subscribers for purposes of data collection. Plus they’re gleaning using all kinds of valuable info from your cameras (for advertising purposes) that has nothing to do with whether or not you’re paying for a subscription. Easier just to collect everything.. and then collect subscription fees from those who want to pay to see it.
Yeah WHO KNEW..geez why am I paying 100 bucks a year to ring for
yes, kinda’....as I understand, the digital info (1s and 0s) of the video (but not video itself) is stored and can be re-compiled to visual form, which is why it took so long. Difficult, they say.
A chip in the camera. And it runs on wifi. If that camera was the one taken it still sends the images to a device like an App.
I can unlock my door or change my thermostat and even turn some lights on and off from my phone anywhere.
They’ve clearly gathered other tech. Her phone was reported left. Might be from that.
Since Director Patel said backend systems, must be something still on Google servers in digital form while connected to wifi.
..differentiating subscribers from nonsubscribers is easy. The problem is they’re video-recording (and storing FOREVER) people’s front porches without their knowledge! Who knew?
What’s difficult today is child’s play tomorrow..
No way back from the tech age.
2 things come to mind.
A gangster saying “I’ve decided I want to retire. I want to quit. I’ll never talk.”
“Nobody quits.”
(Movie Retirement Plan was based on that. Comedy.)
The couple found out she was later in a hospital. Was found in a coma and doctors brought her out of it at the hospital later on and she was said to have evidence of psychological damage from some kind of mind drugs. Or was avoiding some kind of horrible event her mind could not tolerate so shut down. Like a person who goes on an LSD trip and never returns. She couldn’t communicate or show any signs of memory.
So, an AI generated video from a cancelled account.
Hotel California?
Remember the saying in the early 2000s?
“How can you do that?”
“We can do anything we want.
We’re Google.”
It’s probably buried in Google’s 500 page User Agreement: We can keep all you stuff forever.
Fifteen post and you think things can still record when payment terms are concluded, then why have you not smashed that thing with 4 lbs hammer?
Technically it is in the cloud.
