A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

The cheap Wyze cameras I've seen everyone buy lately store locally and have cloud options. They're both usable at the same time too.

They're aren't in any government approved lists but most poors don't give a shit if the CPC is watching them fuck in the living room occasionally when the kids are sleeping lol.

It is fairly cheap option to have some local storage although it won't have a great deal of time. Day or two. But for cloud storage that is perfect as it can handle then brief internet outages without losing any video. Just might be delayed.

I thought about installing it in our commercial cameras by default. Had a client get their NVR stolen and having local camera storage would have given them two days of recorded video. Was certain it was and inside job or past worker so it could have been effective.
