AI security cameras are collecting data they don't need
A new study from Surfshark reveals that AI powered home security cameras are gathering more information than buyers expect. The report says that these devices go far beyond routine recording. By standardizing facial recognition, they create biometric profiles that can include neighbors and passersby -- not just the people who own the cameras.
Surfshark says that many companion apps also gather personal details unrelated to security features, further raising privacy concerns for owners.
