For others here who seem knowledgeable: my parents have a couple of TP-Link wireless cameras that let you see the video in their app. It doesn't offer any security features like ring though. I don't know if they're smart cameras in the sense of ring.

My previous understanding was that tplink was basically hosting their own servers to provide remote access to the cameras for their customers because it would be make people buy into the ecosystem.

How much of similar concern exists for something like these?
