The idea of having a security camera inside my house is totally insane to me. Convenient to have them outside but inside? What purpose can that possibly serve?
I have one single camera inside my home. I’m very careful about how it is positioned so that it can only see exactly what I want it to see. I adjust it so that no person is visible at any time, except maybe feet walking by.
I have this camera pointed directly at my rabbits litter box and hay bin. Rabbits can get very sick, very quickly and knowing when they last ate and pooped is a massive benefit when they have stomach issues. A rabbit not eating for 2 hours vs 12 hours is a big difference.
Gas for rabbits can be deadly, not eating is a huge warning sign for rabbit health. 2 hours is something I can treat at home, 12 hours will likely require a trip to the emergency vet. The camera has already saved me thousands in emergency vet fees.
That is a great use case that I never even considered as a rabbit owner.
A bit off topic,but what sort of camera are you using? What’s the recording backend?
It’s a gen 1 Nest cam that I got as a Christmas gift years ago. I pay a yearly fee to keep video in the cloud for a month. The fee is 100% worth it for my buns.
I’d like to switch to something that is more in house, but my tech skills are not up to that. So I just make sure it only shows the litter and hay boxes.
I lived the early days of the internet when cameras were more easily hacked. I try to be aware of that and I’m super careful about positioning for that exact reason.
Plus, I just absolutely love my adorable bunnies even when they poop 🥰
You can see what’s happening while you’re away. Ideally it would only turn on when the normal occupants aren’t home. I wanted one when we were out of town and our security system triggered a movement alarm inside. Outside cameras didn’t catch anything and a cop came and looked around but didn’t see anything. I’m guessing the motion sensor picked up on the curtains moving or something.
Otherwise, it’s pretty handy for proving that you told someone something 3 weeks ago to win an argument. /s
Yeah I have one for the living room that should be able to see anyone coming in from all the doors around the house. I only turn it on when away, and of course my cameras store everything locally.
That’s the biggest thing. Just store (and access) footage locally.
Being able to view the cameras remotely is a nice idea in theory, but it raises so many privacy concerns. Just not worth it in most cases. How often would you actually open some app and actually look at the remote video feed?
No, it’s best to just skip that feature and be local only, with no internet connection at all.
Who said people weren’t? Remember, projecting your behavior and “morals” onto groups you don’t know speaks more about you than them. When it comes to infants it can be great peace of mind. Breaking the instinct for many to constantly enter and disturb their rest, to make sure they’re still breathing etc.
I agree they shouldn’t be broadcast to the Internet or 3rd parties. Or placed in sensitive areas, or substitute parental interaction. But they have value. There just needs to be better methods for access not designed to be controlled by 3rd parties. For any new smart devices I get, matter or zwave/ZigBee are mandatory.
That speaks more to a lack of better options. Than anyone’s desire to actually broadcast their children. If someone were making an affordable camera system with a hardware management Hub local that you could log in through tail scale or similar. People would be clamoring for it.
Unfortunately right now with the AI bubble is about the worst possible time to launch such a product or project. Even a formerly cheap of single board computer such a Raspberry Pi. Which used in the cost about $35 on its own now costs closer to 100. Although there are a number of good inexpensive ESP camera modules now.
Areas of entry where there might be a better view for capturing the face or features of an intruder, specifically with better lighting conditions.
Watching pets that are home alone
Keeping an eye on someone, like small kids or an adult with a debilitating issue

I have indoor cameras. I’m not really worried about the first one, the second is no longer a concern unfortunately as my dog passed away from cancer in January. I mostly have them for the last item at this point.
That said, ive used them to help keep an eye on my Dad, who had ALS. He knew he could signal to the camera for help (usually the remote fell, but a couple of times it was for medical equipment). All internal though, not internet connected.
When my kids were still in cribs, I set up cameras in their rooms as well. Hearing phantom cries is a real thing, and I had no interest in the crappy-yet-expensive baby monitors.
Even helpful when they aren’t alone tbh, just going downstairs into the basement to do some laundry could be an issue - some of the medical equipment would sound like a tornado siren, others would beep-boop like a new dishwasher or washing machine/dryer finishing.
So the cameras were pretty handy even with people around for when we had to go to another room/floor.
I have one pointing at my front door, came with the house. It’s nice when the security system freaks out and sets off a motion alarm (probably my cat) so i can stop the alarm before the cops are called. I don’t think I’ll be installing a new one the same way though, and this one is pretty much EOL. It’s also turned off whenever the alarm isn’t set
It’s not a good reason. Kids in general aren’t defensible even. Walk over and look at them. My floors are squeaky and kids slept poorly and it’s manageable.

Judging by some Reddit posts, it’s useful when you beat the shit out of intruders and can a) prove self-defence, b) brag about it.

Good use case, but you’re aware of it and not broadcasting the whole home.

Cameras come with the hack preinstalled now
You’re not wrong!

Watching pets, kids, 3D printers
Streaming kids activity is utterly insane. Walk over and interact with them!

But with minimal exceptions, that’s exactly what they’re doing.

So yeah, they have their uses.
Elderly adults living alone may be a legitimate case. There’s not a lot of good options for that scenario.

Most baby monitors have cameras nowadays. So that’s one possible reason.

Yeah that part I can’t really imagine doing, knowing that you’d never have anywhere where you’re not being watched and recorded. Baffles me as well.
