        Local hosting for a security camera is a rather terrible idea, because it can be defeated by stealing or breaking the camera.

              First of all, I was just speaking generally about security cameras, not specifically a ring, when responding to your comment about local storage being stupid for a security camera.

              Secondly not all Ring doorbells use an SD card slot or even have batteries. They can be wired directly to the home and save the data to another external device.

              Third and pedantically: An SD card is not the camera. It’s an SD card. 😌

                The fuck does it even need a subscription for, anyway? Is it not hosting the videos locally? Fuck that.

                “It” being a “Doorbell with a subscription”, from the message you directly replied to. In a thread about a video doorbell from Aldi.

                  This is what I replied to with concern for storing security camera data locally. You didnt say this camera or Ring cameras, so your comment seems pretty fucking stupid and generic changing the subject to be about local storage for all security cameras.

      Not so bad when you think about it …… Ring’s subscription isn’t too expensive and it gives you cloud storage and remote access. Bring on the hatred but I’ve found it one of the few worthwhile subscriptions
