Confused over it uses the Chinese boot loader. Does this make the camera safe?

@Grey-Lancaster while it is possible that the boot loader could be snooping on your it's much more unlikely as that type of functionality is usually implemented in the OS. The only way to know for sure would be use Wireshark and watch the traffic to see if it phones home to china.
