>am I in the ethical right?

Yeah, you're fine.

Even if you had cameras in your bedroom, so long as you werent pervy about it and watched them later it is ethical.

Obviously nothing in bathrooms, regardless of anything that is unethical.

But in general areas of your home and outside are realistic, practical and ethically A_OK

It passes an ethics test, as long as you don't have any intention in benefiting from this endeavor sexually, financially, or otherwise outside of self defense.

You're not allowed to record people where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy

So not mentioning it is fine?
What if a sharper eyed person notices them?
Like if I had a one night stand how would I explain that?

Not a lawyer but I don't think they have a reasonable expectation of privacy in someone else's house

"I have cameras for house security"

I mean, home security, packages of cameras and apps combined are pretty normal these days.

Yes not mentioning it is fine. If they ask, say you have cameras in case some asshole breaks into your house. Pretty solid logic there. Just say it is for personal home security. If a girl freaks out on you she is likely a conspiracy nut. Especially considering there are no cameras in your room itself..

Dont record your sexual endeavors without notice and you're perfectly in the clear.

No, it is a felony to record sex in your own apartment without both parties consenting. A case might even be made from someone opening up privately and you recording it, but I havent seen that. Im sure it exists somewhere, but it might involve something like business secrets.

People have a reasonable expectation of privacy when going to the bathroom, showering, having sex w/ you, changing even if it's in your house unless you explicitly tell them before hand you're recording everything.

in some areas of another's house, and in some situations, you absolutely do.

>is it ethical to record people without permission in a place with a reasonable expectation of privacy
probably not

Depending on where you live it's almost certainly illegal

According to legalwatch.com, it is legal in every state to video record someone in your home.

However in many states you cannot record their voice without their consent. So you have to only *video* record them with no audio.

Depending on where you live you may legally need to have a sticker or similar on your house saying they're being recorded.

Please don't put home cameras up in your bedroom or bathroom though, that's really not ethical at all. If one is going to be in your bedroom anyway, angle it facing away from the bed.
