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

Ten thousand comments and you still don’t check the news before you post them?
Yes, it’s in the cloud. But still recorded and saved. I wonder for how long?
I was pretty surprised to learn that myself.
Did you read about that Ring “Search Party” software that can scan your neighborhood’s Ring cameras to search for a lost pet? That could have some interesting applications in the future. Everything is heading towards complete digital monitoring.
Well, let’s face it. The factoid was probably in the terms of service that everyone agreed to but no one actually read
Yeah, a lot of stuff I’ve seen watching your content from the camera was sort of boring. ——Only kidding.
By the way, now Google search claims only 0.5% to 1% of the data is on the dark web and the rest is all on the surface web.
A young IT expert told me it was something like 20% dark web.
Was he wrong?
I am a Luddite and the last to know. I don’t even own a smart phone (like criminals I buy burner phones with minute cards). I still use my landline phone and watch dvds and listen to CDs. Never text. Have never bought a Spotify type song or sent a photo. Or a Netflix type streaming show. Can’t register for the IRS site because it asks for a Photo sent for my identification to add to the username.
No dice. I reply to them by going to my H & R Block preparer. Never played a recorded song in my car because it needs a USB with songs on it.
A Person of Interest has been detained. You don’t say:)
Wow I had not heard about it. Scary.
People still haven’t figured out what Google truly is...
I explained it to some naive people almost 18 years ago.

Here I am typing on an Android phone 📱
It’s that or the bitten Apple
SIM card is internal. It records everything until it rewrites over it. Usually about 200 hours of recordings. The service comes from data transmission to the host company’s server where you can access it. If you don’t like that, you can hook your cameras up to a DVR in your closet or attic.
I thought Sarah cancelled your account. How are you still getting her videos? :)
In this high technology era, privacy is no more. If sent electronically it is recorded somewhere, probably the huge NSA facility in Utah. The listen and record the data. I would suggest that most of that computing power is to glen all the data and flag up unusual data for human eyes to look at and more and more AI. Our adversaries have the same, particularly China.
The electronic genie is out of the bottle and it can not be put back in.
Odd story about my friends cell phone. He and I shoot together and often discuss different weapons. One afternoon we were doing such on his back porch. A few minutes later he got and email advertisement for not just a weapon but the exact one we were discussing. What are the odds?
You own the device mounted the your door, you stopped payment terms supporting your usage of the device and suspect that it is still recording; why have you not removed the device and smashed it up just because you can?
According to ChatGPT:
Nest doorbells do not contain a SIM card for cellular data, nor do they have SD card slots for local storage. They rely on Wi-Fi and cloud storage, although they possess minimal internal memory (about 1 hour) to back up events during Wi-Fi outages. Video storage depends on a Nest Aware subscription: either 30-60 days of event video or up to 10 days of 24/7 history.
No SIM Card/Local Storage: Nest cameras are designed to upload footage directly to the cloud. They cannot use cellular SIM cards.
Offline Storage: If the Wi-Fi drops, the camera can store roughly 1 hour of event footage internally, which uploads to the cloud once connectivity is restored.
If she had a hammer I think she would hammer out justice, she'd hammer out freedom, and she'd hammer out love between her brothers and her sisters, all over this land.
Also on Criminal Minds, FBI and others a smashed laptop or phone can be harvested for data by experts, and the internet already has records of all the data such as our phone conversations secretly held at the NSA as the books on the NSA said long ago was already true. The Puzzle Palace and the Shadow Factory. Along with our old "deleted" emails they save.
There’s always the option to change your WiFi password at your router and not connect your camera to it? Or your fridge, your water heater, your thermostat?
Once people worried their phone might be tapped. Now they buy devices to spy on themselves and send that information to people who openly hate everything they believe and think.
Alternative method; dig up an old router or buy an old model for cheap. DON’T connect it to your Internet connection, but let it run isolated. Connect devices to it and if you need to operate them, disconnect your computer from the internet and connect to the isolated router.
Ha. I have my ways.
I really don’t own one, it was a hypothetical question:
Is Google allowed to record and store everybody’s door-cam videos in perpetuity, without their knowledge? After cancelled their account?
RE: Technically it is in the Cloud.
That means Kamala Harris can rent a helicopter and go up in the air to the cloud and get the data.
No longer in files locked in the basement, the stuff is up above us in the cloud up there.

Unless you disconnect it.
