I think this is an innovative idea. I'm not sure I would sign up with Vivint to get it, but it sticks out as a novel feature in a sea of non-differentiated offerings.
I don't think Vivint has locked away the 'genie in the bottle' here either, because other back-end apps and providers (ie: ADT, Moni, TC2.0, ADC) could do it too.
I'd use it, even in my relatively low-crime area, to catch all sorts of domestic issues, ie: stop the neighbor cats from using my flowers as a litterbox/ stop kids from 'ding-dong-ditching' cold/ keep tabs on postal deliveries for my neighbors if they are gone, etc.

This is an awesome idea. I know my neighbors would love it, and have to imagine ADT will be copying it soon.

Great idea by Vivent, it will help justify to keep paying that dadgum crazy contract.
....
On a lighter note, I know of another free alternative to view your neighbors cameras all compiled on an easy to use map, and they wont even know!
