    They may have people working in their homes whom they do not fully trust - cleaners, maids, nannies etc.

        That’s quite a reductionist and naive response. You never fully trust any other human being, you simply choose from the best of the options available. Furthermore, circumstances may change that drive people do to things that they wouldn’t otherwise. Besides potential property crimes there’s the added concern of accidents and legal issues arising from such. Cameras are useful tools to protect yourself from frivolous legal action by documenting everything that happens in places where employees are.

      I live in Vietnam. This is perhaps the most common reason for use of indoor cameras here. People buy random cheap Chinese security cameras on the internet and put them in their homes. They blindly trust these cameras, which leads to what you’re seeing in this article.
