This new blanket "no security cameras indoors" policy is a big security problem for owners.
I have multiple rental units in the same building, and so while having a security camera on the outside is fine, not knowing where a potential criminal or bad actor is going on the inside of the building is a huge security risk.
The security cameras serve multiple purposes. Not only does it deter crime and bad behavior, it also serves as evidence should a crime be committed. It lets us know which renter is having people over all hours of the night for $exwork and parties.
Imagine seeing a bunch of random people coming and leaving your building but you have no idea which unit they're going because you're not allowed to have cameras inside the building. Who do we kick out?
Our guests have commented on how we take security seriously. In a country like Mexico, where even though Puerto Vallarta is ranked the #2 safest city in all of Mexico, people are still worried about crime, and having these security cameras provide assurance to our guests.
A simple amendment to the policy to allow for cameras in common areas even if it's indoors (where there's no expectation of privacy) would be helpful.
