I can't think of any security systems that are actually listed and labeled as security systems that use infrared technology to operate.

Their "security system" is an eBay purchase for $8 AU is hardly worth calling a "security system"

This is in the same level as if I said I picked a 20 cent "lock" that uses a single tumbler with a 2 cent paperclip. That lock provides no real security in the same manner as their eBay security system.

There is a reason independent labs test, list, and label security systems. And even then, everyone who understand security understand security comes in layers.

$10 a month just so I don't get to see ads is not a deal. How about for $10 Facebook won't sell my personal information, browsing habits, and connections of everyone I associate with (and also their associations) to every "partner" they have. And while they're at it, perhaps gain some trust from their users by actually growing a backbone and keeping Big Brother out of Big Data.

$10 a month just for no ads is just a cash grab

Service companies that sell parts to customers have been keeping track of state taxes for decades. Hell, some websites even ask the county you live in if your zip code spans multiple tax jurisdictions.

Not being able to keep track of sales tax rates is not a problem. Computers are great at keeping track of numbers and Amazon has plenty of those.
