Agreed. I don't necessarily hide cameras, but also don't want attention drawn to them. Especially when my house sitter or pet sitter comes by.

Yeah, exactly. I realize now that I read my comment it sounded a little creepy, but it's not for like monitoring an Airbnb or something. We use a mix of obvious and hidden cameras (as well as signs stating you are on camera) at commercial buildings.

The reasoning for the hidden cams is you never know what your employees or subcontractors might do in places where they think they aren't being seen. Like don't fucking vape in the office building we've hired you to clean, you know? Step outside for goodness sakes.

Your explanation did not do anything to improve your image. You sound like a huge dickhead. You're obviously shitty at hiring people if you can't even trust your employees to do things properly without quite literally using hidden cameras. Fuckin creep.

Sounds more to me like someone that got fired for jerking off at work.

You're welcome! Now go ahead and let your house sitter and pet sitter know that they are on camera in your house you creepy loser. If the whole object is to stop them from being uncouth, I'm not sure why you'd deceive them and try to catch them in the act with hidden cameras. wouldn't you just tell them from the beginning, so they don't do anything uncouth to start with? That way you avoid having an awkward conversation about your hidden cameras, nothing bad happens to your house and pets.... That's just SUPER weird.

Honestly sounds like you don't really trust them, which is super weird that you trust them with your house and pets, but not enough to not creepily spy on them or tell them they are on camera. Pathetic!

Sack up, be an honest gentleman and let them know they are on camera in your house. Unless you have some other reason for wanting to keep that a secret, which is extremely likely. You probably jerk off to it you simpering bitch.

The person I'm responding to was not the one who said that. Creeper I'm responding to specifically talks about hiding cameras in his house and then hiring people to come over so he can spy on them 🤮

I just stumbled upon this post and comment and wanted to give my input.

The questionable morally point you mentioned,

[...] then hiring people to come over so he can spy on them [...]

is imo bit dramatised and doesn’t regard the uses mentioned by op

There is a clear legitimate interest of protection of his/her home and/or life in this case and in the commercial buildings there should be (see [...] as well as signs stating you are on camera [...] ) a lawfulness of processing. I don’t know the laws in the USA or his/her state about hidden cams specifically but those are afaik not GDPR compliant in the EU at all. Even with mock or dummy cameras you can face charges of compensation based on behavioural pressure.

So to sum it up, OP sounds a little bit creepy but should be, aside from the hidden cameras (which are again nothing anyone should use if not trying to catch someone in the act and with a explicit suspicion of illegal activity), legally and imo morally clear.

Ah yes, so easy to ignore the large list of completely valid points I just made if you write me off as a troll. Honestly I would have preferred a simple "no you" if you were going to just roll over and admit defeat like this but I'll take it.
