Twenty years ago, a "security system" meant a loud siren and a sticker on the window. Today, AI-driven cameras can distinguish between a stray cat, a falling leaf, and a human stranger. They can send push notifications that say, "Person detected at front door," before the visitor even rings the bell.
If you buy a camera, assume that the manufacturer can see it. To mitigate this:
