    I believe these types of cameras are used often by the average person. I don’t believe the average person would know how to set up a VPN

      Either you have the know how (or the willingness to acquire it), or you pay someone with the know how. If you half-ass a solution with an AliExpress camera, you deserve what’s coming to you.

          One of my neighbors has a completely open camera in their front yard lol. I’ve left a note on the door giving them a heads up but I guess they don’t care or don’t know what to do about it. I only know because my app is always adding their stupid camera when it “detects a new device” and I have to go in and remove it every time. So far their cOnsEQuenCeS have just been me briefly admiring their pretty garden the first time I noticed it and opened the camera to figure out who it was and warn them lol. If someone got into mine I hope they enjoy the random feral cats wandering through my ugly barren yard 🤷‍♀️

          I’d never leave any camera inside my home it would creep me out too much. I don’t see what harm the cams facing the exterior entrances to my house could possibly cause.
