> Out of curiosity, why is viewing nursery footage seen as serious?

As a parent you are your child's guardian, which generally means that it is your responsibility to protect your child. I would assume most people would try to protect themselves against having their surveillance footage accessed by unauthorized parties and so this parent (the author) is trying to achieve this for their children.

I personally can imagine scenarios where for the purposes of social engineering it is advantageous for a malicious actor to get access to the footage of your child's nursery to, for example, study when your child is generally there or when you pick them up or who picks them up.
