Honestly all this monitoring and "busting" and "exposing" people for minor infractions sounds exhausting. Personally I have other things to spend my time on than surveilling people. Frankly it's kind of bleak to imagine you sitting around keeping an eye on your surveillance cameras and graphs to make sure no one is stepping out of line.

It's only when I get reports from neighbors, my turnover crew or they make a false claim on AirBnB. The tech in the Nest cams make it so you don't have to wade through footage. It short links to events and has great detection as I mentioned.

None of what I wrote was minor either. If a vendor is charging me and not showing up, that's fraud. Bus full of people - over my approved capacity and I can get fined. Filming - I can get fined. Fire in the desert - big liability. Stealing firewood - theft and now my guests won't have any.

Not sure why you are fabricating a story that isn't there.

Sounds more like he just checks archived video when thing go awry. Like missing firewood, a trashed house, etc.

The homes serve a lot of guests and 95% of them are respectful. How does reviewing footage when they make false claims or I get a report from a neighbor make me a voyeur?
