I do care about privacy, and have been trying to convince those I live with to switch away from Ring because of it. I’m hoping there will be more convincing now with everything happening in the states.

I’m not the most knowledgeable on stuff like this, but with an airgapped system, how would that work for connecting? Realistically I’d like to be able to check the cameras when I’m away from home, and to me that sounds like it’s local only?

good for you, but that wasn’t my question

thanks for the info. so far they do appear to be the most promising.

 

currently using Ring for home surveillance, but looking for a Canadian alternative. I was looking into Eceboo as they are Canadian based, but their parent company is based in the US. do you think it would still be worth it to go for them, or do you know of other alternatives?

thank you!

I’m using voyager currently and when adding a tag I can put a colour

as of right now I’m using Filen for cloud storage. not Canadian, but they are e2ee and I’ve already paid for lifetime storage so I’ve no reason to switch, but that’s good to know should I ever choose to :)

why is that? I’m not into the whole self-hosting thing. I understand it’s better, but I prefer the convenience of off-loading that hassle to someone else.

sorry, it was moreso that they are an American company. I think big-tech wasn’t the right term for me to use. my apologies.

 

Trying to replace all my US based big-tech choices for Canadian alternatives.

Main ones:

  • cloudflare (domain and site hosting)
  • bitwarden
  • discord (a true alternative, but not sure if there is one)

Willing to hear of other recommendations for daily software as well :)
