Home Surveillance Guest Etiquette

Where exactly were you caught masturbating?

lol wp

That's a pretty good question. What you *have* to disclose depends on your jurisdiction but what *should* you disclose?

I'd say at least everywhere where a guest wouldn't necessarily expect a camera like in bedrooms? (insert funny home porn joke here)

This should cover it.

I think the gardener was caught weed-whacking off

I remember there was a house in our neighborhood in the late 90s that had a permanent pole with a sign stating that the property was under camera surveillance. I guess it was a legal disclosure?

Now everyone has Ring or whatever cameras all over and no signs and no one discloses such information. You would think when you bought your camera they'd provide a website with a guide for all of the rules across the US.

I assume whatever my cameras captures and sends up into the ether is not private. We joke about Jeff Bezos masturbating to the wildlife around my house.

He wanted to get caught, let’s be honest.

i'm kind of surprised this thread hasn't caught more attention

i feel like these are genuine questions/dilemmas and also provides a great platform to troll me so a little disappointed by the lack of discussion

i personally feel that having to mention it to everyone is a bit awkward/redundant - "hey come over to my bbq tonight at 6, and by the way, the entire backyard we'll be in is under surveillance"

so i'm thinking of just putting up some signs and then leaving it at that, if people don't notice the signs, that's on them

but i would also think if i didn't have those signs up then i would be in the wrong as friends and family should be aware if/when they are under video

Especially all of the current camera systems are designed to be seen as a deterrent.

This.

Not sure the best way to do that. Perhaps ensure all the indoor cameras are in plain and obvious view?

Install bay windows and you won’t need cameras to begin with.

You need to tell them about the cameras but do it in a subtle, wink-and-nod kind of way. That way they get more of an erotic thrill getting “accidentally” caught cranking the hog. Otherwise it’s not as fun.

outdoor is expected
indoor living areas not surprising
better tell about bed or bath

Now that y'all finished your third beer, I'd like to notify you about our cameras in the guest bathroom including the one in the toilet bowl.

have the toilet squirt water as a warning

"WARNING: The smallest droplet of urine on the floor triggers the shutter of the toilet cam!"

I'm kind of disappointed that nobody has suggested rickroll get in touch with Dominic for help editing the BR video.

Camera should be under the lid of the tank to catch those upper deckers in progress.

what exactly was her plan? to rip it off or pull him through the wall?

idk what his plan was either tbf
