Ring doorbell camera - what are the easiest private alternatives? - Lemmy.world

Family just got one of these dumb things and I need a quick replacement option to order and return this crap. What is there that works offline and I can set up to work with fruit phones? (Not a fruit phone/fruit salad user)

Reolink or Amcrest

Amcrest have way too much crap they collect; telemetry, location, and 3rd party info sharing. I saw no mention of how they are processing data. The β€œwe can change this at any time and it’s up to you to figure it out” policy is all I ever need to know. This says 'this doc is all about how much we f$$$ you over, for now, but maybe we’ll double you up later without warning. amcrest.com/privacy-policy

Reolink is straight up using google analytics. Definitely not private either.

Privacy Policy

Amcrest Technologies - Security & Tracking Systems

Well their privacy policy stops to matter when you firewall off the camera to only talk to local network/your server.
