Exactly! Even the fancy entrance porch light replacement camera systems are under 200 bucks and super easy to install. They have all sorts of awesome features to beyond protecting you.

My advice would be to have several many inexpensive cameras that upload constantly to the cloud.
Even one in your sunglasses.

One thing I don't like about this is it has onboard memory. I'd rather it go to the cloud automatically.
I'd also just as soon there were no indicators that anyone else could tell if it's recording.

These are gen-1 I imagine....better stuff is no doubt on the way.

There are lots of apps that auto backup video and pictures. Cell 411 for example has a near instant video option. Ustream does something similar. It's best to overt and covert options at the same time. Just be careful how they are used. They need to be used in public, and different states have different laws.

if someone is doing something in my presence they KNOW that I am watching them do it. Assume recording.

Yep! It is best to assume you are being recorded when you are in public because you probably are. :)
