Cloud Security Camera?

Question

CCTV

Hello!
I want a simple cheap $15-40 camera from AliExpress for my home, night vision & wifi
DVR cameras are not quite suitable for me, because I don't need as many as 4, only one-max two.
The question is, can I set up a regular IP camera to record video to my Dropbox? Or which one should I take? Because recording only on an SD card is somehow not serious. It is not desirable that it be connected to a computer, but that it should immediately be sent to the cloud.
And of course Live Video on mobile - there are usually no problems with this, most support it right away.

Good afternoon. Advice from personal practice, with aliexpress it is better not to order at all. For such a price you can buy normal 1 Mp ip cameras (about $35, for example Partizan). In order for the recording to go to the dropbox, this can in principle be done, but it already depends on the capabilities of the camera. To write normally, an ordinary SD card will not be enough, you need to take at least a hard drive (a terabyte is enough for 2 months if there are only 2 cameras, which is about $ 50).
Synchronization with a mobile, and indeed with any device, makes it possible to monitor remotely. So my personal advice is to allocate $ 100 and make a normal budget video surveillance system. In addition, if you have an alarm, there are recorders with alarm inputs and outputs that allow you to connect an alarm to the recorder.
