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”.

He's cheating and feels he needs to watch you, his guilty conscience is getting the best of him...

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.

For what?

Just ask lol

Also because I'm curious, what brand? Does it work with any existing automation or security systems you have?

I love singing annoyingly when I’m alone.

He won't see unless he goes through all of the clips which would take forever
