How does the average person go about a non cloud connected router? They barely know what it is, let alone what it means to administrate it over the cloud software. How is this their fault for not being a IT professional capable of understanding a $75 purchase?

> How does the average person

We're not talking about an average person in this instance. We're talking about a company using video surveillance in watching their business.

If it were individuals, I would have a bit more sympathy. But this is this company's livelihood being able to realtime watch remotely their core business.

So yeah, they can pony up $500 for a good NVR and PoE cams. That would have saved her sob story.
