The other blog posts on the site have the full (well, developing) story. Unfortunately I was only able to link one, and I was having a tough time coming up with a title so I used an excerpt from this post.

Still quite a tease. I can’t say that I particularly like this style of reporting.

True... but I've wondered how Wyze was making money on their $20 cameras with free cloud storage of events for 30 days. It's not exactly a free product but doesn't cost enough for what it does. I'm going to go unplug all of mine right now.

...or, flash them with an alternative firmware. https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks

> with free cloud storage of events for 30 days

That turns out to be the same as "give us 30 days to pull any information we care about from your camera feed" - unless they decide it's worth making a copy, in which case they have forever.

See my comment above.

Their model was to sell smarter features as they build. In addition to this, apparently.

Is that about this leak?[1] Or something else, like misusing the video?
