   I'm just trying to watch my cat without having to pay china a monthly fee if I want to record the video.
   Any suggestions?

   Pay china a fee? Just buy one of the zillion wifi pan and tilt cams on ebay that do this without a fee/subscription. The one I have was like $20 or some shit.

   so do most people.
   
   i used to be a promoter selling these thimgs when their all the rage and the cheap ones had only like a million unique IDs so sometimes they ended up streaming someone elses home/shop/pig pen when they didnt set any password.

   They worked okay for a minute but as soon as it fell off the table and hit the floor it quit rotationg.
   Also the signal sucked ass and the software demanded a monthly subscription in order to record video to anything other than an sd stick.

   pretty much any camera will stop working if you drop it from high enough
   
   and where would you record to other than an sd card or usb stick? of course they'll charge you to record to their servers

    It needs motion tracking and also x-mas is coming up faster than I am willing to solder and learn rasburrahs.

    The alternative that I suggested offers motion detection and requires no soldering.
    
    Basically you put an OS on a sd card and then put the card into a rpi3.
