Is that more Orwellian than say anti-theft camera systems or red light cameras at stoplights?

It depends on who controls the cameras, but yes generally every added means of surveillance by a centralized power takes us closer to an Orwellian society.

anti-theft cameras less so, because they are controlled by individual people, but as seen with Ring doorbells, the government can still access them, so it's pretty creepy.

Seems about on par to me
