Holiday apartment with security camera on the door

Just realised that our hosts have installed a security camera above the door of our apartment and I feel violated - it’s creepy. They keep emailing us promoting their restaurant which I feel is harassment - I didn’t give them permission to use my personal information this way. AIBU?

If something happened to your car would you want access to the cctv?

First time we’ve had a security camera aimed at the front door, it’s surprising.

It’s quite big - not a subtle ring camera - my eyes just did scan the whole door way - why would they? - I have no idea whether it’s recording what we have talked about. It’s so invasive - I have reported my feelings to the hosts and I’ll be putting it in the review - I don’t normally review but I feel people should be aware. At least do they can avoid private conversations at the door.

I agree I don’t like it on a holiday house. I get why some do it but I don’t have to like it, did they tell you about it before you booked/arrived?

No - we just noticed it this evening - second night - we have nothing to hide but I am not happy with the invasion of privacy

Send the emails direct to junk. But the camera is perfectly reasonable on their property.
