I have some cameras at home. Bought them to monitor the cats when we are away and they.. just stuck.

I use Apple’s homekit secure video thing and the cameras are only set to record when nobody is home. Otherwise they are basically powered on 24/7.

I guess it is weird but I kind of forget that they are there.

It's one thing if it's only recorded and stored locally on your machine and another if it's some private company with dubious history that records everything.
