Post Body

Posting this here for the regulars as the Eufy camera system is mentioned quite a bit as potential recommendations for Blink replacements - Anker's Eufy brand cameras have been found to be submitting images and profiling them on the cloud in China(!), regardless of cloud consent and then 'sharing' the results across multiple accounts.

This is not intended to be commentary or negativity on Eufy, more drawing attention to the general hazards of cloud connected devices like Blink - this could be the same for any manufacturer.
