Re: Bewildered. (That's grown-up speak for "wtf")
"Before I get too many downvotes," - nope, you get a UV for a well reasoned argument. I suspect product design went a bit like this:
We can bolt internets onto our usual model, markup £200 retail for <sticks finger in the air> £13.56 RnD plus parts per unit. No let's skip the R bit and throw in most of a cheap IP camera's guts without the CCD etc. Fiddle with the web UI and profit. App n stuff. Internets - great.
I don't own a washing machine with an IP stack. I already have a THINGS VLAN and a SEWER VLAN for devices that scare me more ('leccy readers eg) than stuff I put on THINGS. This will need yet another VLAN for stuff I wouldn't even put on SEWER.
What the hell do I call that? How about AIRGAP? It would certainly have Security Onion looking at it sternly. My home network is probably not your average but I sometimes wish it was.
