In one video, a woman in a hospital room watches over someone sleeping in an intensive-care-unit bed. In another, a man and three children celebrate one Sunday afternoon over a completed puzzle in a carpeted playroom.
The private moments would have, in some other time, been constrained to memory. But something else had been watching: an internet-connected camera managed by the San Mateo, Calif.-based security start-up Verkada, which sells cameras and software that customers can use to watch live video from anywhere across the Web.
