    The opposite is true - the average person cannot afford to have a person onsite watching the cameras, so unless they can view them remotely, there’s pretty much no point to having them. If they’re not exposed to the web, what reason would someone have to install them in the first place?

      I’d think that they’d have them as a) a deterrent and b) to catch footage of a crime being committed.

      Both of which can only really happen if the person they’re capturing is a fucking idiot, honestly. These things tend not to be difficult to disable / hack
