Chopper,
I can vouch for Ring cams and the Ring alarm system. I chose them because of variety of products, features, ease of configuration, overall reliability and price for video storage and central station monitoring. Dollar for dollar, Ring is tough to beat. I configure/view devices via the phone app and via the web. Had no idea Ring offered an app for desktop machines.
And, that's the thing. You may start with just cams but might choose to integrate other products into the mix. These days, I wouldn't want just cams. I'd want a full scale home security/protection setup. This includes cams, a burglar alarm system, leak detectors and smoke/carbon monoxide detectors.
With Ring, you can customize the system easily and central station monitoring isn't a requirement. For some, notifications alone are sufficient. It all depends on where you live, what type of home you have and what you want in the system.
