Which video camera to choose for the security of the apartment?

Question

CCTV

Hello! The relatives opened the apartment. I thought about security. Do I understand correctly that one of the inexpensive options is to install a Wi-Fi surveillance camera, somewhere in the center of the apartment, at the point from where it looks at everything well. If it detects motion, it sends a real-time video to the cloud and I am notified immediately. Like this -
Do I understand correctly that this record in the cloud is a subscription? We leave for a long time not often .... so I would like without subscriptions, but in some kind of dropbox, Google pour. Well, in principle, on the topic, tell me by models. Thanks

Security is when they react. Set an alarm, connect it to the OBO remote control. Then, when opening the apartment, armed fellows will come and kick the opener. And this camera will only fit for self-hypnosis.

For such purposes, you can use the solution from Ivideon. There is also the possibility to run the server under Linux - https://ru.ivideon.com/get/#get-connect-ipcam . There is a free plan with all the necessary options. Unlimited personal storage.
Any camera can be connected to the server. I even connected a regular webcam - motion detection worked correctly, followed by timely notification in the mobile application.
