In old movies, it's only creepy rich people who have cameras in their house watching everything. Now everybody's creepy.

  Camera should only be for monitoring outside around you house. Cameras should never be in the house. If a burglar got in your house, its already too late and you should probably run.

  (Unless you are the victim of domestic abuse and need hidden cameras for court evidence, then sure, go ahead)

    Only people I know with internal cameras use them to check on pets when they aren’t home and put them in common areas, so if they were hacked it could still aide a burglar but if the feed was hacked it wouldn’t show them naked

    Yup.

    My home security system is a doorbell camera and motion sensors everywhere. I can tell if there’s movement in a room; that’s all. No interior cameras - I don’t trust any of them to not get hacked, regardless of my firewall.

  Cameras in the house is still creepy. Even baby monitors have been getting hacked for many years already.

  Here’s a good example why not to do that: friend was in the process of divorce from a douche spouse, who was technically skilled and had installed security cameras inside and outside the house. They all left them in place knowingly, and the douche spouse who had to move out kept watching the family inside the house and bringing up things that happened in private. I was like “WTF unplug that shit”

  Well the rich people part is kind of silly.

  In the past it was only rich people who had celphones, now it’s everybody. Before that it was only rich people who had computers at all.

  Of course with cameras, I do have to note the bigger irony to me. IE I remember it largely being the tin foil hat nerds that were terrified of the government showing up at their door, watching for black hellicopters.

  Now of course, the typical home buyer has cameras with internet access that gleefully share everything to the government, while the tinfoil hats either go way out of their way to make sure to get cameras that don’t go to the internet (or block them from doing so), or just avoid them altogether.

  Rich people decided to make the whole planet creepy

  That could be expanded to so many things that were creepy in the recent past but are totally normal now.

  E.g. walking down the street talking loudly to somebody who’s not there.

  How many people are actually watching the cameras in their house?

  I think it’s a lot less than everybody.

    In the house? There aren’t any.

    Around the house, of course I check them to see if there are weirdos creeping around my house.

    Only time my dad ever had to check them was when the cleaning service repeatedly ‘forgot’ to clean the 2 bedrooms at the end of the hall. Only weirdos constantly monitor them.

    I … don’t have cameras in their house. At least none which aren’t blinded and/or plugged out.

      What’s the point in putting a camera in your house if it can’t see anything or it’s turned off?
