Local storage, encryption, data governance, and vendor lock‑in avoidance for doorbells

About

I analyze how doorbells handle identity, footage, and sharing—then show safer defaults with local storage and open protocols when possible.

Background

A neighbor once asked me to share a week of clips after a package theft. Because my system stores encrypted local video and never auto-shares, I could help without granting platform access. We exported only the relevant minute, and I kept my audit logs showing exactly what left my network.

Perspective

I prioritize devices with local storage, RTSP/on‑prem options, and clear law‑enforcement policies.
