I really don’t see why you would need to own security cameras if you don’t own a house? If you’re renting that’s not your job, and if you live in an apartment… Well, why do you need security cameras in your apartment? Unless you own the building?
My point was mostly that like, a couple of disks is not a big expense, and not something I feel is worth fussing over, personally.
I am positive plenty of renters run surveillance cameras for a myriad of valid reasons. Maybe they don’t trust their landlord or they are nonresponsive, or simply don’t want their belongings stolen or messed with, or have troublesome neighbors or roommates, etc. The world is big and varied with many solid reasons. Open up your scope a bit.
Well I did not refer to record inside your home. Usually security cams are outside facing your front lawn, if anything. Also with you having access to the recordings, not the landlord controlling it.
I didn’t realize living in a rented house/apartment puts up a magic barrier that keeps out all security concerns that owners have to worry about.
Also, for security video storage, you don’t (or at least shouldn’t) just slap in some generic drives and go. There are specialized drives made for the always on, always active setup you need for that, and they are much more expensive than standard drives. I just upgraded my NAS with 4 8TB drives, and those cost me just under $1k.
Maybe I should have clarified a bit then, but

Well, I guess that’s true. You’re right, I probably should have thought a bit more about it, sorry
No worries. We all do this on occasion. Striving to improve is on my daily “To Do” list.
“If you’re renting that’s not your job”
Yes, I’d love my landlord to have 24/7 recordings of all my activities, that’s not fucking creepy at all
I swear some of you don’t really think much outside of figuring out what’s convenient for you
