They own it legally, and they are absolutely unsuccessful in stopping unauthorized copies. Same with the Ring videos, no? The owner of camera owns the recordings, maybe, but they can't really control disclosure.

I wonder if they could sue using copyright laws

I wonder too. I suppose it's not straightforward, maybe there are something written in the ToS and EULA, maybe those things are invalid... the people writing this article weren't sure either. They say that in case you record to a medium locally, you have the copyright, but in case of cloud services, it's unclear.
