The video shows that even security cameras by companies like ADT will spy on you. Apparently 2/3 of US households have outdoor security cameras, and 1/3 have internal security cameras. Most people probably don't know how to set up their own secure entirely local security camera setup, so they just hire it done, which almost always means connecting it to a corporate cloud.

The ease of use. Setting up IP cameras to be safety accessed from outside your local network is not easy for most people. And there are legitimate uses even in the home. I'm currently working on getting things all switched over to POE IP cameras, contained in a separate VLAN behind an instance of frigate. Your average consumer's brains would have been dribbling from their ear before the comma in that last sentence.

Same, but just like with drinking and drugs, you don't get kudos for never starting. No cameras outside or inside my house. The only working camera I own is the one on my phone, and I barely use it.

It’s not that people consider it a smart idea, it’s more that the majority of people aren’t tech savvy and privacy-conscious enough to realize the implications. It also doesn’t help that the big-tech, cloud-based, and managed solutions are usually the easiest and most convenient to set up for the lay person.

Or outside, I'm not giving the government/pigs more surveillance nodes it's bad manners.
