My Roborock has a three button combination you have to press on the bot to enable remote viewing. I suppose once you do that all bets are off. But at least it requires access to the hardware and is off by default. Better if you could configure it to disable again after each use or periodically.

I'd really want this feature to keep an eye on my pets if I work away from home again. I could see buying a bot just for that.

How do you know those buttons go to hardwired switches rather than being controlled by software that could be remotely hacked?
My thought exactly.
My pup would be tormented by the vacuum following it around while I'm not there. She gets freaked out enough by a stationary PTZ camera on my bookshelf.
