I'm the last person you'll hear using the "but think of the children!" tactic. American paranoia has been exploited for nefarious purposes long enough (I'm glad to say, I'd be surprised if you found any such message in the Nest Cam advertising campaign.)

Politics aside... it's your prerogative to buy or build any system you want. I was just clarifying why, in my personal opinion, if you really have a need for a security system, choosing a hobbyist project over a system built by a team of professionals is probably a bad idea (again, look for the article I linked before about how easy it is to "hack" into streaming baby monitors.)
