> Wiring your house for video is not crazy at all.

What's the benefit of wiring your house for video?

And who gets to watch what feed?

At what age should parents stop watching their kids' bedroom?

If there are no cameras in the bedrooms / restrooms that leaves only the corridors and maybe the main living room? But a lot of things can happen in a living room that should not be watchable by anyone who has admin access.

I mean, it's not just about privacy. There's also security concerns involved in the decision to wire up your home for video.

I have a camera pointed straight down at the entry area/living room of my apartment. I'm on the 1st floor with a streetside entrance. I sure as hell want to see why my alarm system went off and if it's a real emergency, privacy be damned.
