Q. Thank you very much.
I would like to clarify something that you wrote in [answer 648(b)].
You wrote that the camera records whether you are in front of it or not.
Many of the new cameras have a motion detector and will only record if one is walking in front of the camera. In fact there is a symbol that appears on the screen when something is moving.
Secondly, you wrote it is better to keep both systems off. Do you mean the screen off even if not recording the system should be unplugged?

A. The four grounds for the leniency of most Poskim in the use of security cameras enumerated in question 648 do not necessarily apply on all cases. Reason b, as you mentioned, only applies to that type of cameras that record constantly. However the other causes still apply.

When the screen and the recording equipment are turned off, if the sensor remains on it will activate just the immediate circuits. Since this is of no consequence and it has no practical use, as it is just having electricity move along the wires and components of the circuit, and if one does not have any intention of it happening, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that it is permitted.
