But that's my point you have a right to look out from your property and observe what you see. If you glance out your window and see a stabbing in someone else's property or a theft you can be called to testify. You can be compelled.

What next? Anyone with a cochlear implant can't use the phone because it's a recording device?

A camera is an extension of our eyes. If we have a right to look out from our property and observe so do the cameras.

It's not nice but this is clearly a situation where two competing and important rights coincide and conflict.

For me this is not about anyone's ability to watch the camera feed whenever they want to.

Personally, for me, it's about recording and storage that I'd be uncomfortable with. I have a hearing aid and I it's "recording", sure, but only to apply some kind of amplification/equalizing and then the audio is gone. Not stored, not sent to Amazon, not sent to police. If doorbell cameras worked the same way, then that'd be awesome. But afaik they don't.
