Cameras on short term rental property?

[Pablo Flores]

What do you guys think about placing cameras around the property? Not inside or course . I am getting ready to launch a property and have 4 cameras around the home, one of which faces the pool area. I’m reconsidering wether placing cameras in easy to see places would bother guests.

@Pablo Flores  I had cameras at our first cabin property which came with the home.  They were extremely helpful in making sure the service providers were actually showing up when they said they would (hot tub cleaning, snow removal, etc.).  That being said, I would caution a camera facing the pool directly as that is going to come across a little 'creepy' to your guests.  Try and align it in some other direction that will show if your pool cleaners are coming or not but not directly at the pool.  Just my 2 cents though on that one.
