A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

I second the point, getting rid of it is safer for everyone
Any recommendations for an alternative?
If you have the ability, UniFi makes a good doorbell that keeps recordings on a central controller. I have one at home. Also can do people and package notifications to your phone. The downside is you also need a central controller, but if you have a spare PC or something, you can install it there. Alternatively, UniFi sells dedicated controller hardware that can also be used with their WiFi and other product lines. Hardware costs money but software is free.
There are likely other doorbells that record to a local micro sd card, but I have no experience with those.
