After reading the comments, internet connected Cameras are only good for one thing...
~ Self-Surveillance or Spying on yourself or your family.
~ How happy can anyone be to feed their 'feeds' to the cloud?
~ Will the data ever be mined or used in ways one can't expect?
~ At best feeds might be mined by Ad slurpers like Google etc.
~ At worst, Hackers will find a way in even with Cloud / local patching, then what?
~ Anyone for Hacker FB/Instigram Extortion??? (merely walking through your home naked after showering etc)...
~ While Samsung doesn't offer Cloud Cam yet, they've openly stated they want a piece of the Facebook / Google Ad action. Just ask anyone with a Sammy Smart TV whose had Ads thrown at them!!!
~ IoT camera devices are by the most useful internet thingy's as far as IoT goes, especially in a work or industrial environment when properly patched + fire-walled etc.
~ But at home, they stand to burn every ordinary consumer and family in so many unexpected ways...
~ Nothing said here will surprise regular readers of the Reg. Its just a recap....
Biting the hand that feeds IT
