You might be living in a bubble.

Stats I’m seeing put it north of a quarter of households with video doorbells, and rising. Not literally everyone, but a whole lot. I’d say more than half the houses in my middle-class suburban non-tech-hub-city neighborhood have one, and this isn’t some early-adopter gadget nerd crowd.

(for the record, we don’t have one)

You might be incapable of recognizing hyperbole. I am saying that home security cameras are popular. They are, and videos from them are regularly shared in local news stories and on social media.
