Friends of Timmy, PJ and Squee? 

Or Sarah Palin’s kids?

Or drug dealers coming to Maine like D-Money, Smoothie and Shifty.

Maybe just rapper names.

IMHO, thugs are thugs because they lack the intelligence and / or the self 
discipline to learn something valuable like IT.  I would guess they could not 
pick an NVR out of a collection of a Roku, Twinkie,  Camera, Slim Jim and Cell 
Phone.

Plus they're easy to hide.

For the average home owner I doubt a stolen NVR is real high on the threat list.

Problem with NVR's though is if it is a burglary... you can easily walk away 
with the evidence.  If the video is in the cloud... you have it up till they 
destroy the camera or internet connection.

Good point about the NVR.  Having one camera stream directly to the cloud may 
sound like a good idea, but what happens when you start adding cameras, inside 
and outside  the house.  An NVR gives you local storage and viewing for all the 
cameras, but still allows notifications and remote viewing.  I guess the 
privacy aspect of having all your security cam video "up in the cloud" 
somewhere won't bother people if they're already OK with Alexa and Facebook and 
Google snooping on them.
 
It used to be people would buy an NVR system with 4-8 analog cameras and an 
Internet connection on the NVR, now I see the kits are coming with digital 
cameras, some are WiFi, some are POE.  But getting people to run Cat5 cable is 
sooooooooo difficult these days, unless they have the electricians wire the 
house for data while it's being built.

Here's a good thread that recently came up on /.

Security cameras seem to be all the rage.  Many WiFi issues, but also I’m tired 
of seeing them stream up to the cloud and then back down to the customer’s 
phone when he’s sitting in his living room.  I understand when they are away, 
they want to be alerted and shown a video of the UPS guy’s butt walking away 
from the house.  But it seems very wasteful of bandwidth when the customer is 
at home, for the data to go house-Internet-cloud-Internet-house.  Or might go 
over cellular to the phone.
 
 
 
Aside from the wasted bandwidth, there is a lot more to go wrong than if 
everything stayed on their LAN.  Less complaining about missed alerts, delay, 
black screens, etc.
 
 
 
Does anybody know of a system sold in big box stores that can easily be set up 
to keep the video local, but still go over the Internet when the customer is 
away from home?  Or has everything become so cloud and Internet centric that 
you can’t watch a camera 20 feet away without going to the cloud and back?
