The "lost pets recovery" angle is like a marketing campaign from a corporation in the Fallout universe. Its so fucking over-the-top that it reads like satire, except it isn't.

    FTA:

    ... since founder Jamie Siminoff returned, the company has renewed its focus on using its products to prevent crime.

    Siminoff said he came back because of the possibilities AI brings. With this technology, he believes neighborhood cameras could be used to virtually “zero out crime” within a year.

    People are just now realizing that a mass network of always online cameras on most doors in your neighborhood is bad, actually?

    Yep. First thing I thought was, "They're going to let ICE use this to track people down." Hell, they could already be doing that.

    If the footage has left your premises and stored on someone else's machine (the cloud), it's now out of your control. It could be accessed by an employee, accidentally deleted/tampered, or handed over to a government entity without your knowledge. This applies to any brand of security cameras as well as file storage providers and even VPNs

    When motivated enough, governments can and do seize servers from data centers. A lot of the time companies rent them, so these vendors can't even directly guarantee their physical safety

    I'm so mad they've switched from their "protect the children" line for Boomers, to "protect the pets" for us Millennials.
