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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Unless you disconnect it.
Only if the FBI agrees to enhance it.
I use a video doorbell made by Eufy. (yes that is the name) Local on device (SD card) storage only, no cloud BS like Nest.
big brother is watching you
Why would you’d you have Google Nest to begin with?
Testor’s black paint and a small brush.
Ring doorbell cams do the same thing - they just don’t make the data retrievable by you - or allow you to talk with someone if you aren’t at home when they come calling.
But they still notify you when there’s activity at your door and allow you to see the pic - or even a “live view” of what’s going on in front of the camera, without a subscription.
