> You're conflating "any camera" with cameras that are attached to a centralized data aggregation system.

It's an increasingly meaningless distinction: most consumer cameras now upload to the cloud and people like it. View from anywhere, AI magic, connect to cloud-based home automation, etc.

I've spent a lot of time pondering a startup built around local storage security cameras with OPTIONAL encrypted offsite storage.

I wonder if there is a market for this.

All my shit is local with local AI.
