Users may spend time checking live feeds—creating anxiety rather than alleviating it—while ignoring basic physical security like reinforced doors or good lighting.
By installing these devices, users often unknowingly grant companies broad licenses to use their footage for "product improvement" or "algorithm training," effectively turning private homes into labs for AI surveillance development. The "Glass House" Neighbors
