I thought their reputation was tarnished explicitly due to uploading footage to the cloud despite claims otherwise. How can you be sure it isn't uploading when their words mean nothing?

The problem was unsecured connections when accessing your footage through their web portal.

They've since fixed the issue, but they inform people that screenshots are held in the cloud for a limited time in order to serve certain types of push notifications.

I may also be trying to cope with the fact that I bought an expensive system before learning about their issues.
