    I feel like there’s probably a way I could do the same thing without Comcrap as a middleman. Anyone written libraries for doing this kind of thing with an openwrt box and a bunch of Linux machines?

      And yes, reading through Xfinity’s privacy policy indicates they do monitor the WiFi motion data, and will share it with law enforcement or other third parties without notifying you.

    I’ve always wondered if this sort of tech could scale to 5g towers for mass surveillance purposes

      Kind of like Verizon was hyping, for firefighters and first responders, on their 5G commercials in 2018?
