Internal CCTV cameras? Find them intrusive?

[Alana1983]

Been out today just for an hour and whilst out my partner has put internal cameras up in the house. We are going away soon for a short break and our older teenager will be in the house alone, so I am jumping to the conclusion that this is is the reason why. Only the second time said teenager was alone. Last time there were no issues, we could see comings and going on the ring cameras but nothing untoward occurred. This a longer 'break' though

i don't want internal cameras up. They are up in the living room and landing so not bedrooms obvs.

They just feel super intrusive to me. We already have ring cameras on the front door and back garden?

thoughts?

YANBU it would feel super intrusive to me too.

I have seen a video on FB doing the rounds of a dog doing zoomies around the bedroom of a man who has just adopted him. The dog was a gift from his children after his wife died. It is cute and all that, but I was wondering why there was a camera in the corner of this gent's bedroom.

I know a man who has one in every room of his flat, including bathroom. He says it is to "film his decline" (he has a severe case of cyberchondria), but he often has his daughter staying there with him. Gives me the creeps.

No way, I'd get rid 100%

If you're burgled they're almost definitely going to have covered their face. These cameras are for something else surely?

To add a point of view partly covered, if someone breaks in then even with external excellent camera footage (speaking from my partner's experience) it doesn't always aid the police with non descriptive clothing and faces covered so I can't see how more indoors would help. I agree, would feel intrusive to me and I wouldn't like myself or my children recorded.

If I were the girlfriend, there's no way I'd be staying in a house that my boyfriend's dad was videoing. Your partner could be accused of voyeurism.

And there's no way I'd live in a house where I was being videoed either, particularly when there'd been no discussion about it.

Incredibly rude and intrusive.

If I were the teenager in question and had no say in it I'd be avoiding the rooms with cameras while they were switched on. Horrible violation of privacy.

Needless to say if the teenager doesn't know they're turned on that makes it even worse - I don't think I'd ever have gotten over it if I found out I'd been spied on by my own parents like that.

When everyone agrees it's fine.
That's clearly not the case here

Abso-fucking-lutely not. What is wrong with him?
