Surveillance Cameras and the Removal of Seclusion

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Do surveillance cameras placed in rooms and elsewhere remove the state of seclusion (khalwah) if a man is found with a woman?

Answer:
No, they do not remove it. They may place something over it, alter it, or block it. Yes.
