Put your tinfoil hats on people

I actually charted with the kickstarter, he stated that the $99 a year was only for the cloud server to view remotely, you can just get the camera and view it locally, so I think I will back this, planning on using
it to monitor my car and front door.

meh... I'd be willing to bet there is no way to record to a local device while you're away. Probably have to pay the yearly sub if you want to record anything. If that's so, it
doesn't seem like it'd be much use unless that's all you really want to do is monitor things while you're at home. We live in a pretty good neighborhood and have 2 dogs... the goings on around the house isn't much of a concern while I'm there. I'd much rather
be able to know what happens when I'm not there... but not enough to pay $99/yr and then have to wonder if someone else could possibly get access just because it's cloud based.

Lestat, I'm really not... I made that post on a whim and was content to let it die - please just let it do so...

Also, if you guys really think I'm paranoid about all of this (which, again, I'm really not), you haven't seen my family. My mother won't even come into the room unless I assure her that the Kinect is turned off.

Blue, there was a video? I never saw a video, jus the article (which I skimmed). Oh well...

In any case, Fyerball, I was careful with how I worded my responses: using terms like "kind of" and "a bit" - that doesn't mean that I'm jumping out of my skin, applying my tin-foil hat, locking all of my doors, shutting the shades, etc. It's a minor concern,
nothing more. In the 2nd part you highlighted, I was only using "me" as an example - I was not specifically referring to me - I could've just as easily said, "what if you send a personal message to a friend..." or "could they judge you..." The 3rd highlight
was a suggestion, nothing more. The last one is a simple truth that I came to fully realize.

Maybe he wants to be watched.

I knew this was coming. Actually a great idea for home security for some.

Peace, J.R.

I am guessing the feed goes through your network and since your X1 is connected.. you can access it from IE ?
