Never buy these 3 Security Cameras ‼️‼️ #amazon #ring #alternative #privacy #flock
The short version: Micah Dot Tech's warning about consumer cameras that sell your data is a reminder that surveillance creep starts in your own driveway, not just on the street corner.
Our Take
Micah Dot Tech's quick-hit video on which home security cameras to avoid is aimed at the Amazon/Ring crowd, but the underlying message lines up with everything we track here: when a device's business model depends on harvesting footage and metadata, the person who bought the camera isn't really the customer anymore. That's the same logic that built Flock Safety's nationwide ALPR network — communities pay for 'safety,' and the data pipeline quietly becomes the actual product.
We can't vouch for every technical claim in the video since we haven't verified Micah's sourcing, but the broader point is sound and worth repeating: convenience surveillance tech rarely stays contained to your porch. Footage gets shared, retained, and sometimes handed to police or federal agencies without the homeowner ever being in the loop — the exact pattern we document with Flock's camera network nationwide.
If a stranger's doorbell cam can flag your face, a Flock reader down the street is already logging your plate. Check our map to see what's watching your block, and hit take action if you want to push back on both the corporate and government versions of this problem.
