Cameras in apartment?

I think the dog camera is kind of like a baby monitor. It's piece of mind. Also, it's her dog,  it's responsible for her to find ways to care for the well being of her pet.

If the camera is only in the living room, privacy can be found in all the other rooms. Well, I don't know the lay out of the place or the angle of the camera. Maybe the dining or kitchen area will also be in scope. Thing is if you live with family....those areas are semi public anyway. Common shared spaces where other people will see you.

For privacy one can go to their private quarters, the bedroom. Or the bath!

Plus she can always go out.

The camera is not necessary when there is a person in the premises and a dog.  Your daughter should tell the roommate that she wants the camera off at all times whilst she is in residence. If the other girl will not agree to that your daughter should find other accommodation.  Very few people would accept the terms being placed on a room mate by the other girl.

If your daughter wants the camera off then that should be O.K. just as long as she puts them back on when leaving the premises.

The girl is suppose to be paying attention in class. Not watch her dog on her phone lol

Just as long as your daughter can turn it around or, preferably OFF, when necessary, that would be O.K. but your friend seems to be wanting the camera on all the time to track her dog. This will interfere with your daughter's life, I would think, and she should not have to accept that.  If the friend insists on the dog living there and the camera working also then your daughter should have the opportunity of turning the camera around or even off when she wants some privacy.  After all, if she is there, the dog owner doesn't need to worry about her dog during those times.  Your daughter will ensure the dog is O.K. I'm sure.

I would never share under the circumstances proposed by the other girl.  

As long as your daughter knows where the camera is and can turn it off, it should not be a problem. I would not want a camera in my place, id move out.

Your daughter can let the friend know it's uncomfortable for her while she's at home by herself and that she's going to disconnect the camera while she's there.  Or she can put something in front of the camera to block it.  

I don't think she's being unreasonable to feel weirded out for the simple fact of a camera being on in her own space while she's there. I have dogs myself, don't have a camera on them, but if I did, it certainly wouldn't be on when my husband is home! 

I agree with Cogito's answer, 100%. 

Couldn't they compromise by only switching the camera on when BOTH of them are not at home?  The roommate should understand that it would feel like being spied on if it was left on all the time.

I think she needs to put one in the toilet too because maybe the dog will go in there.

Its only in the livingroom. Not the bedrooms and other areas. But if she spends most of her time in the livingroom, then the other girl should understand.
