Undeleteable, publicly-stored surveillance tech seems problematic. Why bother with blockchain when you could e.g. stream (hopefully encrypted) data to a home server controlled by you? Then you can keep it for your own records and call upon it when needed. You could also add a feature to the product that gives trusted friends access to the files in case you are unable to for whatever reason.

As I stated, one could prerecord and upload at a later time, thus faking the register to make an event appear more recent than it really is, but once uploaded, there is no way to falsify the recording as having happened at a later point in time than the upload. If these recordings are being streamed in real time non-stop, the recordings can be assumed to always reflect reality, thus providing strong evidence in court.
