[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend got a ring indoor cam for friend's DC in the single bed dorm.  Kid would turn it on when studying or doing some non-private activity, and turn it off outside the window time.  Friend also has one at their home (living room) so the kid can access to the cam all the time.  Requires a lot of trust between parent/kid.  Most kids would not agree to it.[/quote]

Barring a disability that requires more monitoring than normal, this is completely inappropriate.[/quote]

I can see that it works in limited circumstances.  That DC has a single bed dorm, so it does not extend to any public area.  The single bed dorm is a completely private domain.

The arrangement is mutually consensual.  Both parties happily agree to it.

That DC has the complete control over the cam.  That DC decides when to turn on and off.

In this case, the indoor cam functions as a FaceTime phone.  [b]The only difference is that the parties don’t bother to talk when it’s on.[/b]  [/quote]

That's a pretty big difference! I know what my kid looks like and I'm not actually worried if he's alive. I want communication in order to talk to my kid and learn about his life.
