The pricing on this is tough. Wyze cameras are $20, whereas this is $5/mo. If I anticipate having an ongoing need, I'll just by a Wyze camera (which also has infrared). Just my 2¢, as a guy who has wondered about whether a service like this existed in the past. Maybe consider offering a lower tier ($10/annually?) for just one camera?

This - I just got a neos smart cam (as they were on offer at work) and for £20 I can use it 'forever' with movement notifications, live stream, basic short recording and no ongoing fee. Up against that, this seems expensive.

I have been considering purchasing one of these, but keep getting put off by the security aspects of cloud based cameras i.e. accidental or otherwise vulnerability that allows others to view the videos.

not only that but if you are hacky enough you can cobble together a cheaper solutions with some cameras, a raspberry pi (or similar small cheap machine), and motion ( https://motion-project.github.io/ )

YAWCAM (yet another webcam software) has always worked for me. https://www.yawcam.com/

That's a different market.
