I have an old ass webcam that only connects by a USB, and I haven't connected to my computer in an eternity. The only other camera is on my phone, and I make sure it is never pointing at anything I don't want people to see if it was hacked.

This shit is fucking scary.

some people are paranoid and rig up cameras in every part of their house under the guise it will keep them secure from criminals.

people's fears are often irrational and disproportional to actual dangers. people typically are paranoid about things that have very low probabilities of happening, and don't even think about dangers that are common.
