Any guesses why that is?

It would be really nice if I could have it sync to both. I’d like to sync it locally and have all the features available, but for convenience I would also like the option of a secure, reputable cloud service that costs a reasonable fee.

They seem good. However, using the app seems to be either/or (local or their service)

They’re also twice the price of Google, which is a bit tough to swallow.

Which model Dell?

Buying few-year old enterprise gear can be a really cost-effective way to get a ton of power and expandability. But the noise, footprint, and power requirements seem pretty niche, even for homelab/selfhost people.

But I’m curious if you’re talking about a full-depth rack system like I’m assuming, or something else.

Personally, I switched to a handful of very small-footprint systems (mostly NUC/SFF PCs, and some laptops). And use cheap jbod enclosures when I need to add external storage.

Because I have a total of 28 drives and it works really well and is flexible.

12 of them are in a Synology though

I’ve been doing USB with raid on several servers for 10 years. No random disconnects.

Plug and play is not any reason at all.

wonder if they were not aware that it was possible or whether they were lying. I’m not sure which one is worse.

They knew it was possible,.although it obviously wasn’t intentional.

The only way this can happen is if they hold copies of the keys used to encrypt/protrect your traffic, and can give them to anyone at any time. Or if there’s no keys at all, and someone simply needs an ID to pull the right stream. Something like your password isn’t required to make the key useful (or they’re storing/using it in a reversible way). And anyone that compromises them can access whatever they want.

Unfortunately I dont know if anyone that does “cloud” camera stuff, including Reolink (and pretty much all of the other consumer camera makers) are any better here. I’m not sure that they’re as bad, but I bet most are. Clearly providers like Ring are.

That seems like a weirdly and artificially narrow definition of UPS.

Why is that no longer a UPS?

I’d like that, but also a really long-running UPS. multi-hour power outages are surprisingly common in my area.

Or TrippLite. Owners used it as a massive money laundering front for right-wing donations and bribes.

It’s relative, I guess.
