I think it is a great way to make home "surveillance" more friendly and acceptable. People usually afraid about putting cameras inside their home, but the clever integrations, like set temp, light etc on movement, or the expressions for weather are funny and makes you simle.
For sure, if your router is hacked, you will show your home to the hackers. But for example I'll use this to check my dog during the day, and will place somewhere which not tells so much about my home/life :)

I saw this on my Facebook feed a few days ago from a non-industry person who 'liked' the Spanish language version of the video. So I suspect it's getting at least some traction.
In the consumer market style is important. Products like Nest and the iPhone succeed mostly due to style and brand even in the face of functionally superior and cheaper alternatives.
From a design perspective, when you think about it the owl avatar and animation does present a lot of intuitive user interaction and feedback that would be more challenging with a convention UI of words or lights. But I don’t think as a gimmick it can overcome the myriad other, conventional barriers to entry into this market.

Not much, but I think a lot more residential video is used live than in SMB. I'm thinking baby cam, doors and street.
Are there any numbers on how many people buy dropcams but don't have a recording plan?
