A bit of r/UKdefaultism there too. AFAIK, many devices come with GMT as default. The owner of the cam could have simply not messed with the factory defaults.
Also, other places beyond England have GMT as a timezone.
The Royal Observatory in Greenwich was introduced in 1675, British railways adopted GMT in 1847, and the International Meridian Conference designated Greenwich as the prime meridian (making GMT the world’s reference time) in 1884. I wouldn’t say that’s particularly recent and is certainly before the creation of such devices.

OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:
Because the doorbell footage lists GMT as the time and they’re still saying Americans
Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

You have me there, however the creator is from England.
It looks very much like a typical UK street though
Surprisingly that is a subreddit shame it has no posts

I assume it’s cos of Greenwich Mean Time
UTC is a relatively recent invention.

I was agreeing that UTC became a thing in like early-mid 20th century so people still use GMT instead.
So sorry - I misunderstood - my mistake
What is an agric?
Just means works in agriculture
I don't know if this can really go down as "defaultism" per se... I don't know if that's the right term in this instance.
