The creators of PaintCam Eve want it to be a new, rather artistic force in neighborhood watchPaintCam
The humble security cam is now ready and willing to choose violence.
A big-thinking Slovenian startup has created a curious smart security camera that doesn't just spy on your visitors, but will actively open fire on potential intruders with paintball pellets – or even tear gas rounds – with "ultra high precision." What could possibly go wrong?

The consumer market is saturated with similar gadgets, all of which tend to make this writer's eye glaze over every time a press release lobs into the inbox.

this is why mine would have the trigger control on my phone.
just need an ED209 to take care of the riff raff. and maybe the occasional nosey neighbor. now if only someone would add a backhoe with a “gardening directive”.
Zoweee they won’t even find your bones after that baby lights up on ya.
People who use that tired cliche should be flogged with a bullwhip.
I read the article.
The author definitely should be flogged. Tied over a barrel and beaten with bamboo canes.
TAKE MY $$$$$$
No kidding!
