ironically, in high end hotels, there's often a lot less cctv. not none. just less. rich people enjoy privacy

In hotels of all tax brackets, you usually get a room key.

And the salient difference is that CCTV is simply defense-in-depth, not a primary means for authentication.

So they’re not just hidden better? Does make sense.

Well, I can use the world‘s best safety deposit box without being on CCTV while I pass secrets in and out of it, right? Just not for free.

Bummer, this sounds like it is about to turn into a Monero ad (“let us pay privately”)
