I like! I want to buy! Oh, wait. Web site is hyper pretentious hipster crap bag. Seriously, calling a swing on a rope "iconic" before you've even allowed one to be sold is stupid.

If cameras are cheap and WiFi is cheap and cell phones are cheap then why the hell are IP cameras so friggin expensive? I found one on Amazon for $55 but that's around a third the price of the median.
