They’re affordable and ubiquitous, but homeowners shouldn’t be able to act as vigilantes.

    They don’t recommend them because of what the homeowners can do with them?

    I’m much more worried about the fact that they’re a constant feed of activity accessible by anyone who can bypass or be let through Amazon’s access controls.

      Or shut them down, given the recent debacle with Amazon shutting down someone’s account, disabling their devices in the process.

        Saying this as an ethnically Chinese person who is not being racist… I had a eufy robovac and when I discovered it was Chinese-owned and had a video camera installed on it… I immediately got rid of that thing. I don’t trust any technology company owned by China to be able to see into my home.
