@VeritasEtAequitas Fighter jets? What are you on about. We're talking about door bell cameras here. There's no reason they can't supply them with a firmware API that would allow them to be used with third-party open sourced software. And no, that won't be a threat to national security. Any company not happy with this should make sure their cameras aren't reliant on a service they may decide to stop providing in the future.

Of course you can expect them to have that server running forever. That's what you paid them for when you bought their product. They chose to make it reliant on the server, so they chose to be responsible for supplying that service.
