Glad to see more companies doing hardware. It's pretty intimidating stuff, but it's also really fun.

Site Design: Needs lots of work. It seems like an infomercial product. I think branding is key here, especially if you're looking to charge 6k.

Price: 6k is a nonstarter. If the equipment were expensive and margins were tight, I'd understand. Everyone wants hardware to be cheap and it's hard when you don't have economies of scale yet.

Implementation: Lots of different devices and I'm sure there's a certain level of complexity to this. I think you're on to something with the security aspect. I would try to make it a lot easier and a lot simpler. The 100gb of space is also way too low. I haven't looked through the specs, but SATA 2.5s with 500 are readily available. If you can somehow cram a 3.5 inch, you can get up to 2 tb.

Could this be done via the cloud? IP camera, sheeva plug, and encrypted recording to an overseas server? Require the private usb key to be used in conjunction with any software system its loaded on. You could charge a small up front fee for the camera+sheeva plug and recurring fee for recording. Kind of a TiVo for personal security.
