I would not underestimate it. My immediate thought is "security moms" -- suburban mothers whose overarching priority is security (they came out pretty strongly for Bush in 2004, IIRC, which is when the name was coined). A similar demographic makes up a substantial segment of the SUV market. It's clearly marketed to a not-technically-skilled market (the magnet is pretty brilliant - tool-free installation, if you can find a bit of metal) which probably intersects the above market to a certain extend.

> It's clearly marketed to a not-technically-skilled market I'm not sure that is entirely true. I know of several people who work in IT and use them. Any decent outdoor IP camera is going to cost at least $100 and $10/month is worth the convenience for some people. My own experience with cameras was using a foscam IP camera as a baby monitor a few years ago. Setup was fine but the UI was horrible - very slow and filled with lag. > My immediate thought is "security moms" ... voted for Bush... substantial segment of the SUV market. I think the market extends beyond a stereotype. None of the other people I mentioned above voted for Bush or even have kids. Personally, I've been looking for an outdoor camera to deter the random kids we have had try to break into a hot tub in our yard and to deter someone breaking into a car parked outside. I don't have time these days to mess around with a self hosted solution so this is a potential option.
