Always-on isn't required. The deciding factor is what the general public expects.
If the public expects that a home might be recording their speech and sending it to a 3rd party - and thus theoretically has the opportunity to not speak or employ some sort of defense being recorded - then then Kyllo v United States suggests 4th Amendment protection no longer applies.
Just look at how many people here on HN already claim to no longer expect privacy.

That's my point - your choice to voluntarily normalize surveillance impacts my 4th Amendment protections.
