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”.

Without providing a compelling reason this would be highly suspect to me.

We had a camera in our home for a while because we got a puppy. It was our way to keep an eye on him early on when we first started leaving him home alone.

We talked about it first, both agreed to do it after I explained why I wanted to and it was local only, no video or audio sent out of the house.

Once the dog got older I took it down and repurposed, now it’s the inside of the garage camera.
