Is this the end of the security guard as we know him?

There are always stories around that promote web-based surveillance of ones own property while away at work. Advertisements picture users peeping into their computer and have a view on their garden, living rooms, to see, if there are burglars in the house, or the grandma checks, if the children are doing their homework. At least, something like that.

In Korea, Korea’s largest mobile operator SK Telecom now launches a service that allows subscribers their network to view images of their homes via their mobile phones. Neat – and the system will even send text messages or SMS, if an intruder is detected.()

This is a very possible service in Korea, where broadband is really widespread and thus, such services are viable. How would it look like in other countries? Where there are many black spots still, in mobile service coverage? As such, we don't believe in the end of the security guard as we know him - at least, for now.
