"Instead of getting a notification that there was motion at the front door and getting a link to the video, the notification might let the homeowner know that the homeowner’s child was at the door, signalling that little Aidan had made it home from school."

lot of products are being sold in the name of protecting your kids because this is a common reasoning appealing to parents. Not sure how comfortable I'd be growing up with parents who use surveillance capabilities like these and never stop stalking me. I guess I might react in 2 different ways: 1) constantly anxious over who is watching 2) ignoring the way I'm watched and growing up as a "properly indoctrinated soldier" who agrees that surveillance is not a problem and privacy is not a right because you shouldn't have anything to hide anyway.

What bothers me most though is that we make our kids believe that big brother will always watch out for us.

Theres plenty of ways they might respond. The kid's exact response probably depends on both the parents and the kid.

Beyond that, the amount of surveillance that already exists in a mobile phone probably far outstrips any new tech around the corner.
