Anywhere that modern cars exist so does surveillance. Tesla for example has 8 exterior cameras and one inside to get statistics on nose picking. I see these cars in my rural area.
If your only goal is to get away from cameras and you are retiring there are extreme rural areas that are hundreds of miles away from anyone but there is no help if you need it. Self sufficiency becomes a mandatory part of life. Alaska has extremely remote areas that only have cameras overhead via Satellites. Crime is high in Alaska. Rural parts of Wyoming are hundreds of miles from anyone but one would need to live far off the highway to avoid the Tesla and Google cameras. Building a bunker style home can keep one away from the cameras in the sky. If there is a hill between the home and the highway that can block the Tesla and Google cameras as well. If you still need to work from remote then look for places that have trenched in fiber along the highway. One would still have to trench it to their home from the highway.
If a few cameras are fine then any home that is off the highway and requires going up a long driveway or dirt road to get to the house with hills or mountains in between should suffice.
All of this probably sounds nutty. It is. Cameras are everywhere now. The little town near me has their own CCTV after a hit-and-run vs. child occurred. Every law enforcement vehicle and officer have at least one camera.
