Not so bad when you think about it …… Ring’s subscription isn’t too expensive and it gives you cloud storage and remote access. Bring on the hatred but I’ve found it one of the few worthwhile subscriptions
First of all, I was just speaking generally about security cameras, not specifically a ring, when responding to your comment about local storage being stupid for a security camera.
Secondly not all Ring doorbells use an SD card slot or even have batteries. They can be wired directly to the home and save the data to another external device.
Third and pedantically: An SD card is not the camera. It’s an SD card. 😌
Local hosting for a security camera is a rather terrible idea, because it can be defeated by stealing or breaking the camera.
This is what I replied to with concern for storing security camera data locally. You didnt say this camera or Ring cameras, so your comment seems pretty fucking stupid and generic changing the subject to be about local storage for all security cameras.
“Doorbell with a subscription” is something so utterly stupid, an absolute misdevelopment.

The fuck does it even need a subscription for, anyway? Is it not hosting the videos locally? Fuck that.

The camera isn’t storing anything.
Oh, I guess the micro sd card slot under the batteries of the doorbell camera is non-functional then, and it saves the videos into your ass, where you pulled that claim from?
Yes. Yes it does store them to the camera.

“It” being a “Doorbell with a subscription”, from the message you directly replied to. In a thread about a video doorbell from Aldi.
