The cameras through ADT have 720p HD video recording with night vision. Cameras are triggered by motion detectors to record video clips that you can view, save, and store on the ADT app. You can program the app to send you the video or an alert whenever one of your cameras records a new clip. Through the ADT app, you can watch live feed of your cameras at any time and record videos to save to your account. The Ring video doorbell includes two way audio, so you can speak through your app to anyone on your doorstep. For environmental disaster protection, ADT offers carbon monoxide detectors, smoke and heat sensors, and flood or water leak sensors.

Apart from physical security, one issue with wireless cameras, and in particular IP cameras is whether they can be accessed from an external network, how frequently vulnerabilities are patched so the window of available exploits remaining viable is short, and how to secure the vast amount of data generated, all to ensure that someone isn’t using it to monitor a range of targets over time to learn patterns/routines.

This focus on security is missing from this write up. Eyespyfx features free software called MyWebcam broadcaster, which will let you use any USB or built in webcam as a security camera.
