Security, Privacy, and Legal Compliance Disclaimer
The use of home surveillance cameras involves significant responsibilities related to safety, cybersecurity, and legal compliance. Your security and legal adherence are your own responsibility.
- Professional Installation: For any hardwired cameras or complex setups, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed and insured low-voltage electrician or professional security installer. Improper installation can lead to electrical hazards, equipment failure, and inadequate surveillance coverage.
- Cybersecurity is Your Responsibility: You are responsible for securing your home Wi-Fi network with a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your camera accounts. Unsecured networks are the primary vector for unauthorized access to security camera footage.
- Data Privacy & Manufacturer Policies: The video footage from your cameras is collected, stored, and managed by the device manufacturer (e.g., Ring, Arlo, Wyze). We have no access to this data. You MUST read and understand the privacy policy and terms of service of the camera manufacturer before use.
- Legal Compliance and Neighbor Privacy: You are solely responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws regarding video and audio surveillance. Be aware of laws concerning recording audio (often requires two-party consent) and ensure your cameras are not positioned to invade a neighbor’s reasonable expectation of privacy (e.g., pointed into their windows or backyard).
