Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

    I would actually be kind of proud of my kids if they threw a successful party with their friends when I was out of town. It seems like kids barely party anymore. As long as they clean up afterwards and don’t break a bunch of stuff, I’d pretend not to notice.

      Have you considered letting them party and being a cool responsible adult that sticks around to make sure everyone is safe. I had some friends growing up with parents like this. Their theory was the kids are going to party anyway so if you give them a safe space its less likely to go poorly. Anyone who got a little too sick or emotional ended up with an experienced adult to help them recover.

      Good luck in my house, server is in a locked room and only way they can kill my cameras is by unplugging for 6 hours so the ups is depleted. Checkmate kids.

      That doesn’t solve anything. Your neighbors have security cameras too. They can share then with your parents. Your parents can watch video from other cameras if the neighborhood is on the same brand/network.

    Maybe, just maybe, the issue is the parents not letting go and not accessibility to cameras.

    Before cameras everyone had a window granny who reported everything happening in the neighborhood. And even then, parents knew what was happening. The goal was that kids would fear that the parents would discover something is amiss and clean after themselves.

    You think this isn’t the main use case?

    Parents but this shit and trick tend into thinking it’s about security from the outside. Adults know that was just a fringe possibility, it’s all about curbing house parties.

    Now shut up before they see this.
