Depends on the state. New South Wales has the Surveillance Act, which does not allow any person to use a device to look into someone's house or yard. You would have to show some sort of 'mens rea' for the offence to be valid, however I can see massive problems if someone decided to report an incident to police. I wouldn't charge someone for it if they were just flying around but I can imagine a few people using the toy for other purposes.
Most people would not be using the device for a criminal purpose but I can see some problems if people started putting the myriad of things seen in yards and in homes on Facebook, You Tube etc.
