Who needs 4k security camera footage streaming in their own home?

The media center is far more relevant here, but again, current speeds are pretty adequate for the majority of people.

People who think the cameras will stop people from breaking in and stealing their shit, or the ones that think cops will somehow catch the bad guy and get their stuff back because they had a camera.

The thing you need is just a box that looks like it could be a camera. The most you can expect is that it is a minor deterrent and the footage will basically do nothing for you, so just pretend.
