I don't. I don't install surveillance in my apartment. Before going for it, consider carefully whether you really need it.

I don't really understand why people would want surveillance inside an apartment, but it's nice to have around your house. Even if it's just for the postman.
Internally I have one camera watching the main paths in my house, with the idea of catching video evidence in case there actually is a break-in. That is the only internal camera I will ever have, though - and I'm completely open to removing it and turning it into an external camera.
Why would you need or want to surveil your postman? Do they not deserve the dignity of doing their job without pervasive surveillance scrutiny?
Well, just to see when post or a package is delivered, and get a notification. It's not to surveil the actual person.
