Our Standards & Expectations require that all members of the SHG community respect each other’s privacy. More specifically, we only place cameras on the exterior property and it shall be disclosed on each listing’s page including the location of all cameras. We prohibit any security cameras and other recording devices that are in or that observe the interior of certain private spaces (such as bedrooms and bathrooms), regardless of whether they’ve been disclosed. Intentionally concealed recording devices (such as hidden security cameras) are never permitted.
Rules for guests
All our properties have exterior cameras. If you’re a guest, our Standards & Expectations require that you not spy on other people, or otherwise violate others’ privacy. Our policy prohibits the use of a security camera or any other recording device by a guest to monitor a host or any third party present in the listing without the consent of that person. We encourage you to discuss the use of security cameras and other recording devices by using Airbnb’s messaging feature.
Violating this policy may result in your suspension or removal from the SHG community. In addition, you should ensure that your use of security cameras and other recording devices is consistent with applicable local laws and regulations.
What’s considered a security camera or a recording device
Any mechanism that can be used to capture or transmit audio, video, or still images is subject to these rules. This includes, but is not limited to, things like Wi-Fi cameras (for example, Nest Cam or Dropcam), nanny cameras, web cameras in computer monitors, baby monitors, mounted or installed surveillance systems, decibel and device monitors, and smart phones with video and/or audio recording capabilities.
