I would be against it personally. That said one that covers the entry way might be acceptable but would be better if it was out side.
Now if you had it installed and only used it when everyone was out side of the house that could be reasonable as well. Personally I doubt it's to spy on you just wants a way to know whats going on when no one is home.
Outside cameras are easier to mess with though.
Like I’ve got one inside me office that sits in the window facing outside. Everyone outside can very easily see it and I’ve literally watched people notice it and then leave our property. The cameras outside are much easier to block, break, or steal to avoid being seen…
Same. We have an indoor camera sitting on the ledge of a big ass window AND a doorbell camera. The doorbell cam doesn't phase many people but the little blue light that came on the indoor cam definitely alerted someone who was coming to look into our living room while we were sleeping. She signaled her friends in the bushes and took off running.
