Well, the goal would be that its not accessible externally. And I’m OK with providing footage should they request it - that’s just something you have to accept when owning a security system.
They can’t request it if you don’t build it. That’s the point. We’ve never needed this security theater before. You don’t need a video camera pointed out towards the public 24/7. Don’t build it and they won’t come.
“security theater” my guy it’s not x-ray scanning them, it’s so the Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t try and convert me, so when I am taking a shit I can see it’s just the delivery guy and not someone I need to run out with my pants around my ankles, it’s so I can communicate with the neighbors that lock themselves out again asking when I’ll be back from errands.
Picking a camera vendor that doesn’t give out data like a 2-bit trick isn’t terribly difficult. Not every company is Amazon. Calm down, you’ve been watching way too many cop dramas.

Depends on where you live. Being notified of packages at your door is handy before they get stolen.
And being able to see who knocks on your door is also handy without exposing your eye to the tiny (and glass) peephole.
As well as being able to see who approaches when you’re not even there.
