Security Camera Disclosure: The house is equipped with one outside door camera at the front entrance door and 5 outside cameras around the house, which are for our guests' safety and convenience. One camera monitors the driveway, one the backyard, one the hot tub, and 2 side yards.
Noise level monitoring Disclosure: The living room and backyard deck have a Noise level detector system (NoiseAware). It only monitors the noise level and does not transmit or record anything; it only gives a warning signal to the property's hosts if the noise level is continuously higher than acceptable in a residential area.
