You can only see so many articles about a ring camera oopsie and people seeing inside others cameras to think maybe this isn't a good idea.
Anything not locally hosted I assume is being harvested by ai, monetized in some capacity and inherently unsafe.
Explaining this to people who don't care is another matter. Realistically it's your personal comfort level of data privacy, they'll get you some way.
Even if something isn't collecting data from you, at any moment it could switch to doing so if its not hosted locally.
Any Ring device allows the local police department to access it at any time without a warrant. That's enough for me to swear never to own one.
