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”.

I always figured all parties need to be OK with where cameras can record. Anybody gets to veto and they don't have to justify it.

My partner wasn't cool with a camera in the garage. Seemed weird to me but whatever, camera was removed.

The "What do you have to hide?" thing is annoying. You don't have to justify why, when, where you want privacy. It's your home, you should feel entirely safe and comfortable there.

Could be as simple as wanting to sneak in gifts from the car honestly. Not everything being hidden is malicious, people have the right to privacy and autonomy.
