The article stated that they are watching the homes and going in when no one is home in order to avoid any confrontation.

Exactly. They are trying to avoid confrontation, so they don't want people seeing someone on their security camera and calling the cops.

If you get an alert that there's motion in your living room, you may check and would call the cops if you see something. If you get an alert that your camera is disconnected you quietly curse your ISP and continue about your day.
