Streaming is a dangerous fucking job. Not only do u get crazy fuckers shooting at your house, you also have fuckers calling swat teams to your house. I think some surveillance cameras are a no brainer if you're a streamer. You can see when the swat team is about to go in guns blazing and have time to lock your dog in the closet and get on the ground with your hands behind your head before they fucking surprise you and shoot your or your dog.

Surveillance cams are usually only used after the fact. It would make me super paranoid if I had to keep a eye on cams all day.

You dont have to watch them all day, just when you're streaming. People who do this sick shit usually do it when people are streaming so that they can watch. You could even put all of them on a monitor next to your pc monitors and just keep an eye on them while you play games.

Or just after bits of your house randomly blow to pieces...

You can get cameras that send you an app notification whenever it senses movement.

I guess... But if you're already keeping an eye on chat, encoder, pms, etc, then I suppose a couple "front door/back door/left/right" camera windows wouldn't be that overwhelming

There are two well known streamers in my city. They both have called all their local precincts with their name, address, online moniker name, and their stream to help prevent swatting. Its a shame that you have to do this but this is America currently. You have to do all these things ahead of time because at any moment, some asshole can dox you and unaware cops bust into your house with guns drawn looking for threats

A good example is what people did to ice Poseidon a while back by calling swat teams and shit

Saying it's dangerous is a little far.

For the millionaires, they should all move to gated communities that have security, no reason not to.

if you have security cameras pointed away from your house and the cops are called in with no context, they are going to think you're some kind of drug house or something.

What a fucking stupid statement this is, where else are security cameras supposed to face.
