Going to preface this one with an /s
You can hire a maid to assist you around the house. She can turn on and off the lights via voice command, open the blinds in the morning, lock the door when you leave, adjust the heat throught the day, open the garage door when you pull in, and so much more. You don't even need a camera to protect against pirates, for when a package arrives - she can bring it inside right away.
The privacy implications are amazing compared to other options. There's only one person watching you and you know exactly who it is. She won't sell your data to "third party partners". Most you have to worry about is her gossiping about you with her friends who are sick of hearing about some random dude on Lemmy all day.
Traditionally, there is a subscription fee. If you don't want to pay, you're best (leagl) opton is to have a kid and train them well. That will last you until you're at the age when you can't stand up and walk to the light switch, but then you can upgrade to a nurse paid for by the child who is too busy training their own child to bother with you.
