    The only drawbacks to having actual security cameras is when you trust your data to a 3rd party known to use your data for evil.

    If you record things locally, there’s really zero drawbacks.

      Hypothetically the police could come with a warrant and foce you to hand over the footage you recorded. It’s a higher barrier than if footage is being uploaded to the cloud, but it can still happen.

      And even if the cameras are not uploading their footage to the cloud, it still wouldn’t sit well with me if every other house has a camera pointed at the public street

        If some shit went down that would require a warrant for the data then I’m guessing I’d probably know and be able to make copies or remove the data beforehand.
