We have a simple home(1 floor. 1bath. 2rooms) We live in a calm neighborhood, we don’t own extremely expensive things. And he wants a camera inside our home? For what? This camera can also record audio. We have a child together, we work and we come home. Why do we neeed a camera inside? I feel like it’s an invasion of privacy! I love being silly inside our home. I love yelling. I love singing annoyingly when I’m alone. Should I feel disrespected? Should he feel disrespected? He’s bringing out the “what do you have to hide card”.
I would set them up to cover ingress/egress points, so doors and windows, which will catch a good image of any intruder coming or going. You should be able to adjust most cameras so that they only cover the doorway, or windows, and not your living space.
Me and my fiance ended up getting cameras, and she was intially uncomfortable with them, so we agreed that as long as they were only covering ingress/egrees she was fine with it. Eventually, we ended up getting Cats and have changed our cameras so they cover most of our main living areas. We do not, and will not put cameras in bedrooms/bathrooms.
Also if you do come to an agreement with him regarding cameras, make sure he shares access with you, and has them set up through a VPN…if he is not familiar with networking/network secruity, go through a professional installer that can set up the network secruity for the cameras properly, and it will be ok.
