Abstract

In embodiments of camera data access based on subscription status, a camera device owned by a user captures and communicates video to a cloud-based service. The cloud-based service receives the video from the camera device, and records and maintains the video as recorded video data. The cloud-based service implements a service application to manage subscription levels that each delineate a level of access to the recorded video data associated with the camera device. The service application can then allow a client device application all access, some access, or no access to the recorded video data based on a subscription level corresponding to the camera device. The subscription levels can include a first subscription level that provides access to the live video captured by the camera device, and at least a second subscription level that provides access to both the live video and the recorded video data.
