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"

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

I think it's a lot less than everybody.

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.

Cameras in the house? That is still creepy.

Rich people decided to make the whole planet 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)

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.
