> I think putting CCTV cameras inside your house is insane
I'm very sympathetic to this. However, I have cameras inside my house. The reason is that there's no way to cover the outside of my house in an effective manner without also recording what's happening on the sidewalk or in my neighbor's yards.
But the cameras are hardwired and no video leaves my premises, so that becomes an acceptable risk for me. The video isn't kept for all that long, so even if someone has a warrant, they can't get a long history of video.
And it proved useful in my break-in, because I could see exactly what the burglar took.
