You don't want to be a part of this: https://www.insecam.org/ - and that's the tip of the iceberg.
When I install these now, they don't have access to the internet - no monitoring but it is what it is. Installed on a separate closed loop wireless network, at least then you're only concerned about local hackers trying to tap your wireless. You can set up secure access to your home to monitor, but i won't get into that. D-link has a free DVR software that can store all video locally on a dedicated windows computer. If anything does happen, at least you have the video. You need to realize that the monitoring is actually in the cloud on d-links servers - and there's your issue. So these cameras are leaving your network, accessing the internet and going elsewhere. And by the way, monitoring these from a smartphone eats alot of data. I know people that have gotten bills for thousands of dollars from the provider - because they didn't know to close the app. Close the monitoring app when not in use.I won't even get into FLIR.It is what it is.

Everything to do with a computer is insecure. And phones. And your tap debit and credit cards. And your car. And your windows can easily be broken allowing access to your belongings.

I have had these cameras for years. 0 issues. 0 times have I used mass data. Mine don't go to the Cloud, you may be looking at a different one.

I like them you dont.

I will keep using them.
