Because predators are even at schools! Our school gym park is used as a toilet by dog owners! I want to have video evidence, if some crazy person blames kid for provoking the attack!
Your trauma is not reason to prescribe privacy invasion on others

That’s understandable. Why does the video footage need to be able to be viewed live, remotely, by a sales team and a prospective client in another state? Predators have access to these cameras. There are numerous instances of police using these systems to stalk women. If I want video proof of what happened at a school, I’m much more comfortable with it being held on premises in a tamper evident location. That elimina…

Cluelessness seems more likely. They'd have to be pretty stupid to use a live video for a demo in this way - there is almost literally no benefit compared to something more carefully curated, pre-recorded and staged. The money saved would not justify the risk of something weird happening on camera and disrupting the sale. Or, case in point, the current headline. If they want a creepy vibe approach or to appeal to the…

Does this mean there is no testing environment?
Generally on multi-tenant SaaS kind of systems you do have testing environments, but they're filled with garbage data, plus they are usually running pre-release versions that aren't yet ready for the light of day. It's where QA and CI/CD operates. Sales demos are generally done on a production environment, but on dedicated tenants that are set up with "nice looking" well-organized data (e.g. company is named Contoso,…

Even if there's an unseen side to this story that somehow contextualizes this in a less nefarious light, it deserves more attention than it got on first posting.
Reading the original after 404 media's characterization was shocking: it's simply not telling the same story.

What does this have to do with cameras covering little kids doing gymnastics? I'm sorry you had a bad experience and using cameras to protect yourself is a thing but filming kids doing gymnastics seems very very far from purely defensive.
