[kwlug-disc] Home assistant: privacy-preserving doorbells

[Paul Nijjar]

Somebody (whom I won't name, but who I think is on this list) was
wondering whether anybody here uses a privacy-preserving video
doorbell as an alternative to Ring. Apparently Amazon shares video
footage from Ring doorbells with law enforcement or ICE or something,
and that makes people unhappy.

I don't think we have covered this topic explicitly in a KWLUG
meeting, but I could be wrong. Does anybody know?

Even if we have not covered it, do people have suggestions? I know
there are some doorbells that save to SD cards and not the cloud. I
guess the goal would be to have control over the video so it does not
touch a cloud server that could be redistributed to ICE.
