About Home Privacy Report

Last updated Oct 22, 2026

Home Privacy Report is an independent, reader-supported guide to the privacy of smart home cameras and doorbells. We answer practical questions: does it work without the internet? Where is the video stored? Who can get it?

Home Privacy Report is published independently. We don't accept payment for placement or scores.

How we research

• Every factual claim links to a source: manufacturer documentation, Home Assistant's integration docs, regulators, court or agency records, or reputable reporting.
• Each device page shows the date its facts were last verified.
• If we cannot confirm something, we say Unverified, and it scores zero. We never guess.
• We don't provide legal analysis. See our disclaimer.
