Got a littlelf indoor camera (after browsing reddit for suggestions and user experiences) to monitor our foster cat who has some mild separation anexiety.

While I am at home I don’t want this camera running and I am too lazy to reach for the hard-to-reach socket location behind the shelf unit in order to always pull the plug on this thing, so I simply put it in privacy mode through the mobile app.
We’ve had the camera for about 50 hours now and today I was just being a slob on the couch, watching some memes and reels with the sound on, when I suddenly receive this sound notification accompanied by an image from littlelf app to my phone showing myself looking like a degenerate slob on the couch. Not a pleasant sigh to be sprung on oneself while trying to unwind from a deadline. I double checked that the camera was indeed on privacy/sleep mode, which it was, so this notification was really wierd. The camera is taking pictures and is recording while I set it to privacy mode which should set the camera to sleep and effectively should disable it from doing such things.

Has anyone experienced something like this before? I tried searching google for any instances of this, specifically with littlelf, but couldn’t find anything.

I will try to locate a better location for it now so that I can easily disconnect it, in the meantime resorted to just throwing a microfibre rag on top of it.
Or should I return this thing? Creeps me out now.
