Live-Video only shows message "activating device ..."

I think it’s a cheek that the camera won’t work without the Internet. Even if the camera and the smartphone are in the same WLAN. I recently saw a program on TV about Ring, there is a suspicion that the camera images in the cloud are being evaluated with AI in order to find wanted people. So it also makes sense that the camera constantly needs internet. I will replace this camera asap.
