The key is more the video stream to a public site than anything else. The rest is mere technical details. Night vision technology is cheap at this point.

The problem is no one is monitoring anything, obviously, and this is an attempt to make it convenient and cost effective to do so. If one can do so as a public service from the comfort of ones home, excellent. Even more so, I'm sure most reputable businesses whose property was protected by "web watcher" would be pretty forthcoming with some meaningful "thanks!"
Practically every surf beach of note has a web cam, I don't see why the same technology to see if the "surf's up" can't be effectively utilized to see if "other stuff" is up too.
Even small areas of surveillance will have positive effects. Imagine how effective this could be in quelling the drunk driving situation. . .
