MODERATORS
Technology does way more than what some consumers want without adding enough value. Ring doorbell just grossly increased their ring protect plan cost and I'm starting to wonder:
"Why are we paying monthly subscriptions for them to just store two months of snapshots with a few videos?"
We need open standards for data storage so we can have more freedom in how our data is stored.
Absolutely. Nowadays you could afford an external hard drive to store such a small amount of videos. Plus, it gives you the benefit of having fewer eyes on your data. The notion of storing data on the cloud turns me off of having certain indoor cameras.
https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted is pretty great for finding open source alternatives to commercial apps.
Definitely, but I'd like to see more accessible solutions for less technical people, and that's possible with inter operative standards. It would be great if regulatory bodies required that all hardware supported at least one open standard.
