it doesn't cost much. my cameras are anywhere from $150 to about $300.

you do need to be somewhat fluent with computers to set one up securely for the networking side, but if you dont care too much (like someone tracking your every move) it's pretty easy to setup.

and you can install ip camera viewers for free on your smartphone.

i recommend getting the stuff from amazon so you can return it if it doesnt work out for you.

and the cameras work pretty well at night even without night vision if you have enough porch lighting.
