Make no mistake, this is 100% going to be Comcast's alternative to more expensive surveillance options a la Flock, or workplace presence sensor arrays.

Can you recommend some trustworthy hardware?

I know gl.inet is probably best for routers, but are any of the mainstream brands more trustworthy than others? TP-Link, Ubiquiti, etc.? I recently got a Zyxel, are those okay?

    Mikrotik.com is another. Often the kind of router developed to work for small businesses and also suitable for homes are decent (note the direction).

    If your router supports it, consider flashing openWRT (replacing the OS entirely)
