this camera is perfect for monitoring home. it works on WiFi or ethernet cable choice. it can transmit audio (mic + speaker). in the event of movement in the image it can send a series of 5 photos by email or activate a small alarm connected at the back. the camera can be directed quasiement 360 + up / down. LEDs provide a very clear night vision. Personally I use a free app on Android, ipcamviewer, which allows me to view the image and control the orientation of the camera from my smartphone. Verily a very good product.
