Also when you buy a flock camera or similar there is usually agreement that flock can use like 100mbs each month for any purposes they want (making it a genuine botnet) and flock cameras can communicate with each other when they are offline too using the wifi module like bluetooth and connecting to other flock devices that have internet access - your offline camera still posts online god only knows what
I think flock are owned by amazon and they use specifically 'amazon mesh' for that which would suggest if you have any amazon electronics they probably do that too

Android also has that capability to an extent and google wanted to enable it by default last year (no idea on the current status of whether or not they enable it) so that all android phones and amazon devices could snitch on one another automatically and watch each other
Apple has that already and their pretext is to "find stolen devices" by pinging nearby apple devices with location using bluetooth
For android i think the same ability is called long range bluetooth (i dont remember) and IT IS ON BY DEFAULT

I use that involuntary bluetooth ping functionality to know which of my neighbors are in teh house and where exactly and who
Thieves can listen for pings and rob a house when they detect none of phones of residents are home for example
