You do have the right to record video inside your home without telling anyone, but—well, there are two big buts. The first: You can’t record video in any location where a person would expect to have a high degree of privacy. Those places should be pretty obvious, as noted earlier—bedrooms and bathrooms are clear examples, as is a changing room if you have a pool. But what if a guest is sleeping on your sofa, and likely using that room to dress? The author of this Fusion article describes that very situation: A person sleeping on a friend’s sofa for a few weeks discovered that she was being recorded by a Dropcam (the precursor to the Nest Cam). The situation is murky, because although it was a living room—the most public room in a home—it served as a de facto bedroom for the time the guest was using it. What makes this case even murkier is the technology involved.
