Used D-Link. Easy to set up. Options vary by camera. One camera will give me a 30 second video and 6 pictures about 2 seconds apart when it detects motion or sound (you get a choice and other controls to help adjust).
Security is a problem with anything you put on the internet. But if you are pointing them to the outside of your house I see no problem. I assume (but do not know) that if the camera was showing the interior rooms someone could hack them to see what is going on so I would not have them monitor any place I would not allow the public to see.
The video and pictures are sent to an email account so an intruder could not destroy the pictures.
Get night vision camera if you want to monitor after dark.
