  it’s a camera pointed at a public street.

  It’s a camera pointed at every person who comes to your house.

  Convenience? Ok. But safety? Are door viewers unsafe? Image

    Actually - yes, some models are really unsafe. There are “reverse peephole viewers” out there that allow people to, well, view into your apartement. And some models are just screwed together, so a burglar can unscrew them from the outside and then try to push down your handle via the hole.

  Very telling that you put convenience on the same level as safety.
