I wouldn't really call it a mistake.
It has been recording most of the summer now.
I caught the assesor measuring the house, and a maintenance guy "watering the lawn" .
It has not given me any problems.
As for the internet, not really a big concern of mine.
I just wish it came with the pir sensors is all, that and the outgoing signal seems to be in quad mode only, which makes the details kind of small.
