Yes, you can use a remote camera as a security camera due to its features and compact size. The remote camera comes with PIR or motion detection sensor, which quickly captures any trespasser or animal's movement without alerting them. Also, they are equipped with low-light technology to record HD images or videos during the night to detect any unwanted movement. Some good quality cameras come with the ability to transfer the data into a phone or PC, making them ideal to use as a security camera.
