Was trying some options. Each was about $20-30 and uses my home wifi. Very easy set up. You install the app and then open the app on your device (phone, tablet, computer) to monitor live feed (and sound) and to see clips that were recorded according to your prefs for the triggering event (sound, motion)

Here's one I like, but you need a power outlet for it. There are battery op ones too though. They take microSD cards for saving recordings, but work for live monitoring if you don't have a card.

Also, it needs to be in range of your home wifi signal.
