Well, they're not watching me unless through a neighbour's camera, in which case, "Hi there".

I don't have any device attached to my home to remotely control things through an internet connection. I don't even have one of those Alexa-type devices that you instruct to play music, et cetera. Having a 'hot' microphone in my home, without knowing who might have access to the output, just seems unwise to me.

And, I'm not sure just how effective all these "security" cameras are anyway. I'm pretty sure the number of images on the local news showing a parcel being stolen from a porch far exceeds the number of reports of thief apprehension.
