Should we be alarmed?

摘要

Intamac Systems is in the forefront of developing a new generation of internet-based home automation and security devices. In conjunction with BT it has developed a new wireless home security system called the BT Home Monitor. It costs less than £200 and when connected to a Linksys wireless webcam costing around £140 it allows you to monitor your home remotely via the internet. The price of this new system makes video surveillance a mass market product, giving privacy and other policy issues a new significance.
