[QUOTE="paluka21, post: 15548283, member: 20747"] So, for a convenience factor storing data on the "cloud" is obviously an ease of access advantage. However, storing recorded video of the interior of your home (and whatever goes on inside the house), data that traverses your home network, and the possibility of introducing vulnerabilities into your home are enough risks that I would seriously consider *not* installing this type of system. To me, it would be safer and within my control to install something which allows me to record locally at my home, but also monitor it at will from the internet. But--anytime you expose a device to the internet whether using NAT for a routed IP address, or simply using another external IP that your ISP provides you, could introduce that particular device to compromise. And *everything* which is IP has vulnerabilities. It comes down to what risk are you willing to take on? I'm putting this out there because I'm also considering a home IP camera system and want to make the best decision from both a logical security perspective, as well as what provides the best options for obtaining the data in the event of a security incident (burglary, attempted break-in, etc).
