    Many.

    If you get deliveries and they’re mishandled, you have a recording of it.

    If someone comes to your door when you’re not home, you can talk to them.

    You can also set up local AI alerts (AI here is mostly used for facial recognition) e.g. to alert you if your MIL comes around uninvited, or if your kids sneak out at 2am, and so on.

    Once you begin appreciating a home CCTV camera setup (fully local mind you), you’ll see the benefit of having your doorbell video-ed up as well.

      That sounds awful. I’d rather just not, and avoid that mindset altogether.

        Avoid the mindset that your kid might sneak out, or an unwanted guest might have shown up?

        Ignorance may be bliss, but it certainly doesn’t stop shenanigans from happening.

          In the context of parenting there are certainly better things you can do to prevent “shennanigans” other than subjecting them to surveillance. Like you know… raising them?

          Terrifying with a generation of peole grown up under total control and expected to be perfectly obedient. They will be shitty adults. But hey, at least they won’t have memories of that time they snuck out at night to watch the stars.

      The idea of going back to a blind simple lock protecting my house, pets, and stuff is crazy to me - smart CCTV and an internet connected alarm system are so much better, plus there’s no “monitoring” cost like some folks pay. $40 so you can call the cops for me? No.
