>There was the potential for thieves to find out the layout of someone’s home and when it was unoccupied. Add cameras to that and you have a disaster waiting to happen.
This feels like pearl clutching for no reason.
It's not hard to find out the layout of a house. In a given neighborhood there are probably dozens of houses for sale, which would have their floor plans publicly available as part of their listing. At the same time, there is a high chance that multiple homes in a given neighborhood share a floor plan. Therefore the layout of any given house isn't exactly some sort of a secret.
As for figuring out whether a house is occupied, there are far easier ways. Any internet connected laptop/phone has built-in cameras and microphones, which also allow you do determine occupancy.
Of course, none of this matters. The typical robber isn't going to do some ocean's 11 heist shit where they're scoping out your house's layout in advance and hacking into megacorp's servers so they can learn your daily routine. They're far more likely to make an educated guess based on whether your car is parked and whether the lights are on. If they're really prepared they'll maybe drive through your neighborhood several times a day to get a better sense of occupancy.
