[quote=Sedai]That sounds like the best solution to me![/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Yeah, basically all the subscription based cameras have that problem, but my road is far too busy to not have at least one camera out front.

Eufy also supports Homekit so you can connect the cameras to your network and then block them from accessing the Internet except through the Home app on iOS devices, which should stop anybody from getting into them that shouldn't be.[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]My mind immediately went to the danger of installing cams on my property that some corp has continuous access to. I am already the guy that leaves my phone in my coat pocket across the house in hopes I might be able to have a private conversation 3 rooms away.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I wish. Their ecosystem is so closed down. I was already annoyed by their shady privacy  tactics but the quality of the camera was great for $2.99. Cancelling because of the $1 increase is a principle thing.[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]Has to be a decent quality self-contained solution out there. I just thought it would be funny if you could hack the Arlo stuff and use it for free ad infinitum...[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I also might just wait until I can afford a NVR and go that route. But those have some expensive startup costs.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]They have a hub that will let you record to a local hard drive, but the consensus among the community is that it’s shit. And the hub is an extra $100. I’m going to eventually switch over to Eufy. In the meantime, I have Blink cameras that already come with local recording for free. Quality leaves a lot to be desired, but **** Arlo.[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]Can you hack it to set up recording to your own device at home?[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]It's like...ya wanna nickel and dime me to get an extra $12 dollars a year? How bout I cancel and you get $0 dollars a year. Idiots. And yes, I have already canceled.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane][quote=Sedai]That security gear crap out already?[/quote]They sent an email this morning announcing EOL for all their products that used to have free 7-day rolling video recording, of which I have one. Also raised the prices of their subscriptions, and I was paying $2.99/monthly for a single camera, but it's going to $4.99/monthly or $3.99 if you get the new annual subscription.[/quote]
