"Depending on where you are, recording a conversation without the consent of all parties is illegal. In some states, it's a felony. So, you and your sibling research the local laws and should take them into account as they figure out the best way to keep your parents safe. Talk to your sibling about your concerns and questions. Where does this footage go? Is it stored locally or does it go to a cloud server maintained by a company?"
"And, more importantly, is there a way to turn it off when people are gathering? That seems the easiest and most sensible option. If we're talking about a sunroom, for instance, I can see the logic in monitoring it for intruders when no one is in it. But, like any other security system, it should be able to be programmed with a timer or manually turned on when folks go to bed or leave the house."
Recording private conversations without the consent of all parties can be illegal and in some jurisdictions a felony. Family members should research local recording laws and determine where footage is stored, who has access, and how long it is retained. Cameras used for safety should offer timers or manual controls so they can be turned off during gatherings while still protecting the home when unoccupied. Posting signage can alert guests to active recording. Clear communication among family members about camera purpose and access helps balance parental safety with individual privacy.
