My alarm system has a video display of the front porch or the driveway. When I want to aim the cameras I use a phone app to see the video display. There is a 5 or 6 second delay for the signal to get bounced from the alarm system to their web site and back to me. The cameras ONLY point outside. I figure if the system is hacked the bad guys can watch my front porch or driveway until they die from boredom. It is unlikely to get hacked, but I know it is theoretically possible.
I also have a 4 camera DVR that is 100% local. The DVR is in my home office. It just records 7 days of video for 4 other outdoor cameras. Really really boring stuff. Mostly the dogs going out the doggie door to "do their business" or chase a squirrel.
