You're talking about a device which is a full-color high-definition surveillance camera that works at night and can be viewed from literally anywhere in the world and can be configured to send you alerts based on seeing people/animals/packages/whatever. That only costs them an inflation adjusted $13.

I don't really think the "they wouldn't believe this shit" argument really applies with how rapidly tech has changed.
