They'll just do it under the table. Cancel your plans and get something you can record locally and stream yourself. Look into Amcrest with Hubitat or similar setup.

    Just to add on to this:

    Frigate is a open source solution that'll take any RTSP capable camera and give it super powers. All those AI features the companies like Ring and Nest advertise, but locally. Sure, there is a learning curve - but it isn't atrocious. And you'd need local hardware, but if you have a PC you could throw a $110 Coral USB Accelerator and get all this.

    I think Frigate also works well with standard video cards nowadays?

    Yes, that's the capacity I'm using it in. I don't have the Coral accelerator. I was trying to convey that pretty much any old PC and work for this with that one addon.
