What I don’t get about all of these cctv solutions is why you’d want a system that uploads to the cloud at all. Surely it’s better to have all the footage on a local device, and then perhaps have a VPN-like tool remote access. Unifi protect works pretty well for me, and I’m sure other local solutions like ZoneMinder work super well too. I’ve got a fast internet connection, but I don’t trust it to be able to handle multiple streams of live video uploading constantly. Coupled with the privacy concerns, why would you choose ring over another vendor of more old-school CCTV?
