Why do you think it's fear?

The owners I know consider it a convenience device.



Convenience for? Security? Isn’t increased security measures based on fear?


Just knowing when stuff happens outside your house when you're not home. Like, someone in the household came back from work, a package arrived, or a cool animal showed up. Or you're home and appreciate a little more notice before a visitor rings the doorbell.

Personally not a compelling enough reason to buy the camera in the first place, but those non crime notifications end up being the most common once it's up.


Or having a quick chat with the delivery guy/neighbour while remote.


Who said anything about security?

They are toys
