Quick answer
Short-stay hosts need to know when doors open, protect empty properties between guests and avoid disputes. A wireless alarm with door contacts, a smart lock or keypad with unique codes, an outdoor camera at the entrance and an app that logs events gives you that. Never place cameras or recording inside guest areas; disclose any cameras clearly and follow the platform's rules and the Data Protection Act.
