I use Eufy doorbells, locks, and cameras. I realize they are a Chinese company, but that is almost unavoidable until the US gets back to actually manufacturing tech.
The reason I like Eufy is the local storage and no required subscription fees.
Isn't this the company that not only got busted for uploading continuous footage but got caught publicly exposing that footage to anyone with VLC?
I if I am remembering correctly you should throw away the device immediately
I use eufy as well. The only issue they recently had was that thumbnails were stored in their cloud if you chose to enable them on notifications. If you just select the text option, none of the footage is stored online and everything is local.
Harder for China than the US to attack in the US.
