Our Point of View
Privacy nightmare. A repackageable, off-the-shelf, audio / video, surveillance system that sends digital signals (encrypted) over existing power lines, to a remote Internet connection (conceivably Wi-Fi'ed out), and then on to anywhere in the world, 24/7/365, for less than $300.00. Geeez... who you gonna call?
