I'm reminded of the adage that, for most authors, piracy isn't a challenge, obscurity is.
You mention 1 person out of 170. Okay, I think I have more than 170 neighbors whose windows I pass in order to leave my neighborhood. I can't imagine even one choosing to install a camera. That's the point I'm making: Many/most people will not rationally weigh the costs vs benefits of this system. They will see only "more cameras, less privacy," and that's that.
BTW, there is no legal expectation of privacy, but that's a far cry from the average person's understanding. We live in a world in which people attach notes to Venmo payments spelling out their illicit activities, in large part because they seem to not realize just how public that information is.
The network you describes seems to rely on a regular series of periodic updates to track movement. I can't imagine uptake being high enough in most locales for that to work.
