Also, if you’re using a cloud-based camera for private spaces? Well, that’s kinda a decision you made for yourself.
Not even just cloud based.
I remember a decade or two ago a lot of security cameras were plugged into the regular network with enabled remote access. You could even find them through Google using specific search terms and a lot of them had either no or default logins configured. So you could basically spy into all sorts of peoples homes.
If I ever were to install cameras in my home, they’d be completely separated from everything else.
Those are from public places, a lot of those cameras are promoted on their respective websites too since they’re purposefully open. I’m talking about private household cameras. People who were doing their everyday things in their living rooms or bedrooms, without knowing that their camera just streams live to who knows how many strangers watching them through its remote access function.

They have both types. I know exactly what you mean.
