Some sort of localised motion sensor would probably be sufficient to tell you how many people are watching without invading too much on people's privacy. You wouldn't know the age, but you already have ton of information by knowing the address and the subscriber already.

You'd also have pets captured, curtains flapping by an open window captured, and any toys kids are playing with (like balls) potentially captured as another viewer too.
Meanwhile pap who likes to sit motionlessly while the kids round around him, isn't detected.

Motion detection feels like a pretty major privacy violation to me.

Except when you have friends or family over.
