I see I typo’d earlier. I actually own Ring cams not Nest. I do have a nest thermostat however.

I am totally getting a Ring security package. It has cellular backup. It also rolls into my $10/mo monitoring.

I also never advocted for blind trust. However, to link cheap Chinese cams off Amazon like Hik and Ring is wrong. Neither are perfect, but cams like Ring have a lot more corporatly to lose if they get hacked.

To me Ring is the same as Windows PC. They are vulnerable too but we use them. Just like Windows, Ring/Nest enforce passwords.

I too am IT Professional with a Comp Sci degree, although I moved into mangement years ago. So maybe I have too much business ease of use lens built into me now.
