True. Such as making $100 "nest cam defeaters" that are battery powered and backed by a raspberry pi zero or something similar.
This also goes to the question of "what is being protected?" Its one thing to burgle a house and get a few thousand worth of jewelry and electronics. Its another thing for a local small museum that doesn't have the budget for a good security camera system.
