Abstract: This study analyzes the use of video surveillance cameras in the homes of older adults who use the Home Help Service (SAD) in Castro del Río (Córdoba, Spain). In a context of an aging population and growing demand for home care, the research evaluates the acceptance, impact, and feasibility of integrating surveillance technologies as a care support tool. Using a mixed-methods approach-including a literature review, surveys, and interviews with users and family members-several benefits are identified: increased safety, peace of mind for families, and rapid response to emergencies. Concerns related to privacy and data control are also identified. The results show greater acceptance among family members than among users themselves, highlighting the need for flexible, personalized, and ethically regulated technological solutions. The study concludes with proposals such as the use of informed consent, the personalization of options, and respect for privacy, positioning surveillance cameras as a complementary tool within a more humanized, efficient, and person-centered home care model.
