Never ever trust an Internet-connected camera. This example is Ring (owned by Amazon). A few months ago the Roomba camera was also proved to be uploading intimate video.
"A former employee of Amazon.com's Ring doorbell camera unit spied for months on female customers in 2017 with cameras placed in bedrooms and bathrooms, the Federal Trade Commission said in a court filing on Wednesday when it announced a $5.8 million settlement with the company over privacy violations."
"Amazon also agreed to pay $25 million to settle allegations it violated children's privacy rights when it failed to delete Alexa recordings at the request of parents and kept them longer than necessary, according to a court filing in federal court in Seattle that outlined a separate settlement."

@fifonetworks If you need a camera such as this get a Raspberry Pi + camera module and build / set one up your self from scratch, write or download and scrutinise any software using the camera and take by control of your privacy
