You can’t connect home system that is never connected to internet, basically make home server and hook up cameras and don’t ever connect that to internet

Half the reason to own a security camera system is so you can monitor it while away. Can’t do that if the system isn’t online.

The problem is cameras like these, the kind that people are putting up inside their own homes, facing their living spaces, their own damn bedrooms, they’re sold to people that have this desire to be able to check in with those cameras remotely at any time, without a good reason.

The only reason my mother seems to have crap like this set up is so she can see the dogs when she’s not home. They’re just sleeping.

Internet connected, living space directed cameras are this bizarre consumer electronics trend that has no legitimate use case for like 90% of the people that rush to use it. Certainly not one that merits the security risks and the privacy invasion that they are inviting on themselves.
