And one of the responses suggests it's already happened:

RT Dan Berte ‏@danberte:

I have a good webcam for monitoring the interior of the house when we are away. If we are home, it's unplugged and in a drawer.

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
