The new opener comes with wifi, a camera, and an app. The house is arranged such that we can't see if the garage door is open without leaving the house and walking around the garage, so I installed the app.
First thing it does? Start telling me to subscribe for 30 days of video storage.
Dude, it's a garage. A garage that abuts the sidewalk. The LAST thing I want is video storage. Especially video storage with facial recognition.
The only time I want this camera to turn on is when I run the app.
This might be the thing that drives me to put a dumb RTSP-only webcam in the garage.
