Yup. I want a home monitoring service, but I'm too lazy to go wire up my house with Ethernet, and there's no way I'm buying anything Wi-Fi. I worked with cameras at work for years, and I know how awful their security is.

So I have no surveillance at home. I think I'm probably safer with no surveillance than insecure surveillance...
