If you're the one installing it, audio is the setting worth thinking about. Utah's law on intercepting communications lets you record a conversation you're part of, or one where somebody involved agreed to it (Utah Code 77-23a-4). The gap for a seller: if you're not home and your camera picks up 2 buyers talking to each other, you're not part of that conversation and nobody consented to it. That's an attorney question, not a settled one — which is why plenty of sellers just leave audio off and keep the video. The footage also tells you what happened, not who pays for it. That part runs through your agent, the buyer's agent, and both brokers, and if it turns into a real dispute, an attorney. Report it the same day and put it in writing: date, time, what broke. Two things to do before you list: check how long your camera actually keeps footage and save the clip off the app before it rolls off, and ask your broker whether you're expected to disclose that cameras are running. That answer isn't the same everywhere. Would you leave audio on, or just video? #sellingyourhome #homeselling #realestatetips #utahrealestate #homeshowing Kelsey Earl, journalist turned Realtor, born and raised in Utah, Salt Lake to St. George, 801-419-8917, [email protected], Your lifelong friend in real estate 🌟
