Property Manager Posts Inspection Videos to Youtube. Should I Stop This?

I have several rental properties, some I manage myself and some are managed by a property manager. The manager has started a new procedure where he sends an inspector to create a video for the annual inspection and then posts them to youtube. They are labelled with the property address (not the city or state, thankfully). This video showed a property in good condition but with 3 smoke detectors which the tenant removed in lieu of replacing the batteries. This is certainly common but is just as certainly a fire hazard.

I am going to instruct the manager to never use the property address in the title when posting these videos (lest something serious ends up being used in a court of law) but should I go further? Should I instruct him to not post the videos at all unless he does so on an internal (preferably secure) server? Would this be unreasonably cautious?
