I got it free from SiriusXM when I renewed so I figured that's the best place to put it. If it wants to spy on me yelling at rusty bolts then by all means.

I do have smart cameras by Wyze but only on the outside of the house, no way would I put cams inside. Our TV's are all smart but again none have cameras. My wife has considered it to watch our pets through the day since one has a life threatening illness but I'm not keen on the idea for multiple reasons.

I also have smart plugs for the garage which controls all the lighting and one inside the house. 3 smart bulbs are also on the system but I plan on changing those back in the near future.
We have blink cameras mounted all the time outside. However since we travel a lot I have 2 extra blink cams that I keep inside a drawer when we are home but take them out when we leave for longer trips.
