Long Beach Island Real Estate
As we approach Summer 2023 on Long Beach Island, rental agents have been fielding many questions about security cameras at a summer rental house. This has become a question of great concern and the LBI real estate market sees more and more new construction homes outfitted with the latest technology. Home monitoring varies from something as simple as a Ring doorbell, to high resolution cameras that can be remotely monitored in various locations around a home. Many tenants have privacy concerns and do not want to be watched that closely while renting a home, so it can be helpful for any tenant, landlord or buyer in the LBI real estate market to understand LBI rental security cameras and perhaps speak with an attorney to understand the legal ramifications of monitoring a vacation rental home on Long Beach Island.

LBI Rental Security Cameras
There are many ways that a homeowner can install some kind of surveillance in their home on Long Beach Island. One of the most common setups we see is a Ring doorbell or similar device, and cameras pointing toward the outside of a home. This is especially true when there is a pool installed at the house. Since LBI is primarily a second home market, the need to monitor one’s home remotely is understandable and expected. The tricky part is how to handle this monitoring when the home is also a vacation rental in the LBI real estate market. Balancing security and privacy is an issue that goes far beyond Long Beach Island, but in this market, both sides have a strong case to be made. A tenant wants privacy and to enjoy their (expensive) rental in peace, while a homeowner wants to make sure the home is being utilized as intended. The best way to understand what you can and cannot do is to speak with an attorney, but at a minimum, all homeowners should disclose the location and the intended use of any surveillance cameras. Most real estate agents agree that cameras should not be placed inside the home, but rather only on the exterior. Again, it is advisable to discuss these concerns with an attorney and at a minimum disclose the location of any camera so a tenant is made aware.
Security Cameras in a Summer Rental on Long Beach Island
Anyone looking to own a home, rent a home or invest in a summer vacation rental in the LBI real estate market should understand how cameras play a role. Security cameras play a necessary and important role in society today, but they have to be used in a fair a responsible manner.

They should not be constantly monitored to impede on a tenants privacy.
