Reolink camera app capturing your clipboard contents
PSA: It seems the latest version of the Reolink Android app (v4.43.0.5.20240111) is capturing the phone's clipboard when first opened, and again whenever the clipboard contents change and the app is brought into the foreground.
GrapheneOS reports, "Reolink pasted from your clipboard". I don't recall seeing this message on older versions of the software.
While network-accessible camera software has always posed a privacy risk, this is particularly concerning behaviour.
Bad but expected given that they are Chinese based. I use several of their cameras but only after kepping them isolated from the Internet and segmented from the rest of my network. I only access the streams from my NAS which in turn access the camera streams from a dedicated NIC.
Depends on compression/image quality/resolution x number of cameras.
That said, I think my previous setup was using a 2TB for eight 1080p cameras. I believe that maintained about a month of footage with motion detection.
