1. Advantages of installing cameras

Security

Anti-theft monitoring: The camera can monitor abnormalities in the home in real time and deter theft, especially in areas with poor public security.

Remote care: When there are elderly people, children or pets at home, you can check the dynamics at any time through your mobile phone and respond to emergencies (such as falls, accidents, etc.) in time.

Convenient management

Record life scenes: The camera can record the placement of express delivery and takeout, or the working status of nannies and housekeepers to avoid disputes.

Smart linkage: Some devices support linkage with smart homes (such as automatic alarm and lighting control) to improve the convenience of life.

2. Potential risks of installing cameras

Privacy leakage

Data hacking risk: Internet cameras may be hacked, resulting in the leakage of private family images, and even used for blackmail.

Invasion of others' privacy: If the camera angle covers the neighbor's home or public area, it may cause legal disputes (such as the case of Aunt Wu and her neighbor).

Psychological impact

Depression: Family members who are under surveillance for a long time may feel monitored, resulting in increased psychological pressure and even affecting family trust relationships.

Behavioral constraints: To avoid being recorded, family members may deliberately change their normal behavior patterns, forming social barriers.

Legal compliance issues

The monitoring range must not cover other people's private spaces;

Installation in public areas must fulfill the obligation to inform;

Installation in private areas such as bedrooms and bathrooms is prohibited.
