Accidentally filming herself vacuuming in the area where her son takes their first steps

Also: I have dreams like this, where standing up is hard and walking is painful

It's probably a security cam or baby monitor. You can't fake the kid walking like that. Even if it is staged, those are certainly among their first steps.

Its placement doesn't make any sense as a security camera. Low to the ground covering a third of the room. Was she worried about toddlers breaking into her home at night?

It's pointed at the front door dude.

Is it common to put cameras inside? What does that accomplish for break-ins? I don't quite get how this would help

Yeah some people point them at the front door among other reasons. Easy DIY set up, you don't need to mount anything and it has other uses besides just being a camera. Google Nest Hub or the Amazon version are the first two that come to mind.

Personally we had one to watch the front door and see which one of the kids was robbing the fridge and pantry at night. Edit: we could also yell voice commands to play music while we were cleaning/cooking etc

Ugh, I don't really like cameras everywhere. But, what use is a camera inside for break-ins? Just for evidence that the police won't use?
