Any recommendations on doorbell cameras? I used to have Ring and it was ok. Moved and got Blink- sucks, didn’t realize it was battery only, constantly dead. Looking at Eufy from Costco- hardwired and no subscription because it uses local storage. Thoughts?
Would you trust Eufy? A few years ago, they got in trouble because their cameras might only store footage locally but they stream to the cloud. They claim to have fixed the issue, but it is unclear if they mean that the footage is no longer being sent or if they just tightened security so that only they (and trusted partners) can watch it.

It’s a good question. I’m not totally confident either way, but I remember that debacle, and bought mine after they said it was fixed. They posted somewhere that they hired an independent security researcher to audit everything and he was satisfied that it was resolved. Can we trust that? I really don’t know. I only trust them as much as I trust any tech company, which is very little, but it is was it is.
