It was a NEST camera from Google, which is only a meaningful distinction because it means they ALL do this shit.

    The only ones that don't are ones that only send data to your data storage.

    And the NEST camera apparently has some sort of free tier that saves a short amount (the last few hours) of video by default, so NEST users shouldn't be surprised at all that their video feed is sent to the cloud as its one of the features of the subscription-less model.

    A big exception to the rule are the HomeKit secure video cameras that work in Apple’s ecosystem. If your HomeKit compatible camera is going straight into HKSV, and isn’t paired with manufacturer’s own cloud video service, then it’s all E2EE and it can’t be accessed by Apple, even with a warrant. Problem is, camera offerings are limited, and scrolling clips in HomeKit is paaaainful. Also, if you’re not in Apple’s ecosystem, you can’t use it.
