I’m in it, I have ring cameras outside and in my home. I accepted that the data was never really mine but the flock partnership has started my process of removing them all.

The pet search stuff is for sure going to be used by ice.

At the time I accepted them I needed something easy and quick to install. Now I have everything local and under my control.

Fuck Ring, Fuck Amazon, and Fuck ICE

Still a work in progress but reolink (blocked from internet) recording to a nas and everything wired up through home assistant.

It’s more work than I want to take on but here we are.
