The purpose of the camera isn't to prevent the attack, it's to warn you it's coming. It's part of the alert boundary. + Make the target unappealing (well kept, well lit, reasonably hardened) + Alert on attacks (cameras, alarms, dogs) + Slow down attackers (hardened doors, window coverings, good locks) + Response force

Could you get an alert that your wireless video camera failed a health check?

  Yes, and you should. The risk being this is an "unknown" state - like if your app monitoring gets back "no data".

  Some apps will alert you if a camera goes offline for a certain amount of time.

    HomeKit cameras and doorbells do this.

  Pretty sure the SaaS doorbell company does that when your service gets disrupted (by jammers) . Sends you a text

I wonder what would be the most optimum security setup without being prison security level. Like fenced home, clearly visual cameras around the place, night sensor lights, dog, security monitoring company? Perhaps there could be a security monitoring company that used AI human recognition, then users would set their general times. Hence, anyone approaching at night would be pinged by the AI, and a human would verify whether its a security threat or not. AI being used would be necessary to make 24/7 monitoring across tons of homes possible.

  Where do you live? What does the neighborhood look like? You don't want to look like fort knox. You do want to look just a bit more hardened than your neighbors. If window bars and serious fences are the norm, do that. If nobody has window bars, don't do that. AI human recognition misses a lot. AI also can't tell the difference between a girl scout selling cookies and a criminal scouting a place (or a bored uber driver waiting for a slow client).
