The problem is: the very next step is "why don't you just provide a live feed of your cameras to the police?" Maybe we can start with just part of the time, like when you're on vacation. Hey, we'll give you a great deal on your insurance... for the first year.
Residential cameras connected to the internet is the biggest issue for me. I wouldn't mind most residential cameras if the video footage was only stored locally.
Yeah this is an important consideration and I hope to move to that, however it’s a bigger project than I have time for.
I have a Ring so the recordings are online and it’s certainly convenient. The basic plan keeps recording up to 180 days but of course once they have them it’s outside our control. It’s a good point that the length of time they’re kept doesn’t seem configurable. I would certainly prefer they be kept a much shorter time but don’t see a way to configure that
The one time a policeman came around to ask if my camera caught something, they asked me to check on my app and they took my word for it. While I understand they can compel Ring (or me) to give it up, maybe there’s some comfort that’s it’s not a dally worth their effort
