That’s a very touchy topic in our neck of the woods. Seems folks show up to AirBnB high desert very remote locals with way way more party friends than is disclosed in the original agreement, hence the cams to verify your identity, hence the very touchy topic of the cams, the solution being that the owner is off property and this is the only way that they can verify [via cam] that you are not throwing “barn burners” daily & or invited 100’s of other humans to participate in your vaca frolicking.

That’s the thing though - just say that in the listing! “We have cameras in the following locations, we record video and audio, this is for our mutual protection and we will delete the data after X days.”. Done!
