  1. There is no way to tell what a device is capable of unless an expert dismantles it and identifies the components. I don't want to argue, however there is no conspiracy theory about hacks, compromises, and breeches. It is out there, everywhere. We all just do what we want, to try to stay safer (not safe). And to be a little picky, Windows, Nord VPN, Malwarebytes, and almost any service or product you can name, has already been breeched. A search will show dates and details. Check out this THIS ARTICLE for a little information that only scratches the surface of what details are available on device users.
  2. Check out Amazon Sidewalk and imagine the number of hackers working to exploit this. Could you make a camera connect using these devices? Think of the thumb drives that can send information, only requiring someone to plug them into a computer. These are given away at trade shows as free storage devices. Our smartest specialists can't tell a benign chip from an invasive one. So, anything with a camera can be used to upload using many methods.
  3. Just to clarify, the OP posted about any dashcam - saved to storage or sent wirelessly, or both. Or saved to a card and sent wirelessly without the feature being documented.
  4. Some devices can and do circumvent passwords to access wifi or even a cell phone signal, without the owners knowledge. The brute force crackers can work in seconds or less, everything can be hacked or accessed. It is only a matter of how valuable the information is. Some devices are constantly looking for unsecured wifi (there are plenty) and when connected to one, information is passed on to someone or some computer. This is why it is nuts to do banking via cellphone on public wifi. The popular doorlock/camera that was sending video to local law enforcement was doing so with owners unaware. Governmental systems are notorious for being hacked. Rental cars can have internet service without drivers knowledge. And Bluetooth can be hacked easily. There are devices that look for a nearby fob being activated and capture the code to enter a vehicle, start, disable, etc. A dashcam wouldn't be the highest priority for stealing content, but it can happen.
  5. I've heard of baby monitors, and wireless door locks with cameras that sent video without consent. There are differences in these devices but I believe it is possible. Equipped vehicles can communicate wirelessly - as an example, the doors can be unlocked remotely, system software can be updated, engines can be stopped or started. Vehicles can have wifi.
  6. But gotta say that I don't like the LED lights. It looks cool, but it says "look at me". I can't stand lights like this. But each to his own! Nice build. Thank you for posting pics!

    My Bed design

    I've followed your build thread since the beginning. I just joined the forum to say that pictures are time-consuming to post, but are very much appreciated! You might be shocked by the number of folks who follow your build.
