    So… all that data is literally there for any unauthorized person to walk up and take it.

    It’s not even suitably encrypted on device?

    Zero trust in anything Flock says.

      The devices are entirely open for all practical purposes - but worrying about individual cameras is silly, because they have no meaningful security at all around the API's to access all the cloud data - you can buy law enforcement credentials dirt cheap in dark web marketplaces to log in and track anyone/anywhere you want and access all footage.
