Security Cameras and Noise Monitors
Outdoor cameras (located at the front, back and sides of the house) are for guest safety and record only video, not sound. Indoor cameras (pool area, living room and garage) are all non-functional and covered.

A Minuit device inside the home monitors noise levels, temperature and motion to prevent safety issues and excess noise. Noise is only monitored through decibel levels (to notify guests and the host if it gets too loud), and not sound.
