I won't debate the utility of this gizmo, time will tell. However, expect a high loss rate. No matter how sturdy they are, they will be deployed in a very harsh and chaotic environment. Lots of ways for them to get trashed or stolen or just plain lost. If I were the bad guy and it gave away my position, I'd shoot it. I'd bet the cost to keep a single eyeball active for a year is at least 3-4X the product cost.
