And this is why I don't do cloud based access.

Yes I have CCTV at home and I can add a further 17 network cameras and 6 physical cameras onto it. But as good as the system is, I have it behind my firewall, running off a box I trust and can review access to at any time.

Also, if I was ever going to add any cameras inside the house, they'd be on the ground floor or at worst, the stairs pointing down them. Never in any of our bedrooms. What goes on in there needs never be recorded... (Well except for that one video... But that's besides the point).

As tragic as this is it could have been avoided if the temptation wasn't there due to cameras in private locations.

That doesn't however remove that ADT allowed this to happen. Human weakness will always bring down these high ideals.
