We have a simple home(1 floor. 1bath. 2rooms) We live in a calm neighborhood, we don’t own extremely expensive things. And he wants a camera inside our home? For what? This camera can also record audio. We have a child together, we work and we come home. Why do we neeed a camera inside? I feel like it’s an invasion of privacy! I love being silly inside our home. I love yelling. I love singing annoyingly when I’m alone. Should I feel disrespected? Should he feel disrespected? He’s bringing out the “what do you have to hide card”.

    I understand OPs hesitations.

    I have done the following

    • camera firmwares have been tweaked and are now local only and stream to my Home Server and all other access from other devices is blocked
    • external access only via VPN. No Apps, no cloud etc
    • notifications are sent over the cloud but hold only an alert, no Screenshots
    • cameras are turned off when me or my partner are within 100m of our home. I did this with a simple USB switch so the cameras are getting no power at all.
    • persistent notifications Camera On on different devices.
    • using a good Firewall and a SIEM to monitor devices, traffic and access.

    Maybe OP would be OK with a similar setup. I had wanted to use cams for presence and person detection but my partner vetoed that pretty quick.
