It has long been a tradition to use them on the outside of shelters as a security measure and there hasn’t really been a problem with that as video in public places (the outside) is generally considered allowable as people have no expectation of privacy in public. However, cameras INSIDE the shelter are a completely different issue.  NNEDV has a cross team group of staff prepping to publish something polished and approved but in the meantime the CTA Team wanted to drop a few notes for you here about why this is a bad idea and should likely be avoided.
