They do know they are being filmed (or will know once these devices become more common), as there is a red light that flashes on the glass when it is recording. However, that could easily change in the future too - with hidden cameras that constantly record everything becoming more common.

So if I put some paint over that light, no more red light while recording. I find the argument that a light will make our privacy ok not all that convincing.

You sure about that? I haven't tried it in-person, but this description in the "First Encounter" seems to directly contradict what you said:

How close do you need to be to see the flashing red light?
