This was the kick in the ass I needed. Removing that device tomorrow.
Wish somebody would open source these things... Was gifted a really nice flood light cam with audio and hate to bin it. Their decent hardware.
I’ve been using this for years and it’s about to become my main. I put a memory card in it and can access it globally without a subscription to any service. It’s “compatible with Alexa” but that’s not ever happening.
What happens when you turn the light switch off? Does it have a battery?
No battery but I’m sure I could rig something up.
Don’t turn off the light switch.
The light is activated by motion or by you leaving it on inside the app. Your choice.
Same i had canceled the monthly but I suspect they still have access..
I canceled my subscription a few minutes ago. I’m not fucking around. The device will be ripped off the entryway as soon as it’s light outside.
This is fucking wrong and I won’t stand for it.
