I&#x27;m the last person you&#x27;ll hear using the &quot;but think of the children!&quot; tactic. American paranoia has been exploited for nefarious purposes long enough (I&#x27;m glad to say, I&#x27;d be surprised if you found any such message in the Nest Cam advertising campaign.)<p>Politics aside... it&#x27;s your prerogative to buy or build any system you want. I was just clarifying why, in my personal opinion, if you really have a need for a security system, choosing a hobbyist project over a system built by a team of professionals is probably a bad idea (again, look for the article I linked before about how easy it is to &quot;hack&quot; into streaming baby monitors.)
