Also, convenience: Buy this camera, get access to recordings anywhere over the internet with nearly zero setup time.

If you have an on-site system (like I do) it's way more effort for the average consumer.

That's not security, that's voyeurism

Was also thinking the same. Security cameras should be used where there is an incident and additional information is needed to clarify what happened. Then you check the security camera footage to figure out what happened. If there were no incidents there is not reasonable need for anyone to look at that footage.

edit: not talking here about active monitoring security cameras used by guards.
