CCTV surveillance is almost inescapable in modern Britain. Yet despite calls for a curb on cameras, more and more are being installed – and not just by local authorities, but by regular citizens too. Are we feeling more vulnerable in our homes? And does CCTV actually make us feel safer?

In 2014, 110 million US adults were hacked. As we fill our homes with smart lights and thermostats, heightened connectivity is bringing heightened insecurity. A guard dog for the digital age, CUJO is designed to keep the connected home secure from cyber-threats. But are our homes really at risk?

Ever since we began handing over our data online, surveillance has become an accepted part of modern life. In this climate, privacy has become the ultimate luxury, available only to the super-rich – like the residents of Hidden Hills, an exclusive neighbourhood in LA.

Home security was once considered an elaborate luxury, available only to those who could afford their paranoias. But new products are catering to new needs. Cocoon makes peace of mind around home security affordable and simple; it's as cheap as a PlayStation, and just as easy to set up.
