Anyone looking for a security camera with solid privacy safeguards in place should look into the Fortress Indoor camera. It uses solid encryption on all network communications, it’s surveillance-free as it doesn’t log footage, audio, and location information, and it doesn’t collect much personal data about its users. However, the Fortress Indoor’s lack of automatic firmware upgrades and two-factor authentication put a dent on what would have been a perfect record.
