That's fine, I must value my security and privacy much higher then...

They have history, the v1 model pre-2022 found to have huge security issues and they ignored the issues then EOL instead of fixing it.

I'm sure we all value it, just to differing levels maybe. I've always been lapse tbf. The two wyze cams are in an empty property atm on a mifi thing, accounts are set up with unique email addresses though. 

 

My brother in law by contrast is fanatical about security, to the point I think he's lost the plot a bit, he's got 12 (iirc) cameras on his self build where 5-6 would have sufficed (Hik though) and ~16 zones on the alarm. He keeps all his passwords in a book and won't do Internet banking and has stickers over his laptop camera lol. 

 

Banking aside I don't over think security and I'm pretty pragmatic with most things. 

 

 

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Keeps all passwords in a book, won't do internet banking but has CCTV... Daily Mail reader?

 

It's understanding what the risks are, some are lower priority than others to a lot of people.

I don't trust anything with my data and if some data is required I consider what would happen if it was mishandled.

Happy to not use whatever it is if there is no trust, for work I use the same standards, wouldn't fit anything for a customer I wouldn't use myself.

There is a big difference between knowing you like wearing M&S dressing gowns and identify theft, but either could be possible depending on what data is collected over time.
