Security camera and remote/cloud access

I wanted to post a work around to the security camera/non public ip problem that so many have.  After soooo much reading I stumbled on a solution for my needs that is very simple.  I should add it may not meet everyone's needs but it worked for me.   I stumbled on an android app that allows one to remotely control a cell phone.  You do not need a phone active with a carrier only the wifi (will also work over a cell signal) portion of the phone.  You have a complete screen view of the phone from your PC. That gives you both front and rear camera options as well as video. All phone functions are available.   One can set it in front of your security camera monitor as well as seeing the opposing view.  Very light on data and not an issue as HD streaming is. AIRDROID is the app - no affiliation. Works pefect for me. When my wife upgraded her phone I now use the old one with the app.  Your phone sleeps as normal and wakes up when you run the app.
