Answer
Download and install a remote-viewing program on the iMac. The LogMeIn Ignition program is one suitable option (see Resources). Launch the remote-viewing program by double-clicking its icon inside of the "Applications" folder that is inside the main hard drive.

Go to the remote-viewing program's website. Click on the "Registration" button. Fill in the required registration information in the appropriate text fields. Enter a user name and password in the appropriate text fields. Press the "Register" button to complete the registration process. Quit the Web browser.

Click once on the remote viewing program's window to make it active. Select "Registration" from the "File" drop-down menu. Enter the user name and password you had created at the Web page earlier into the text fields of the window that appears. Press the "OK" button to exit the window.


Click the "Sleep/Wake" button at the top of the Apple device, for example, an iPad, that will view the iMac's camera remotely. Swipe the slider on the screen to go to the Home menu. Tap the "App Store" icon to launch the program.

Tap the "Search" icon to bring up a text field. Enter the name of the remote viewing program that is installed on the iMac in the text field using the onscreen keyboard. Tap the remote viewing program's name when it appears in a column beneath the text field.

Answer
Yes, iPad has a security cam app with which you can turn it into a surveillance or monitoring. But the key is not just apps but how you set the whole thing up so that it monitors and records everything seamlessly -- be it in your home or outside. Here are two sites that should give you details into how this can be done (using your iPad on its own or with a cell phone -- including iPhone -- or web cam)

What type of security camera should I get for this situation?

My tires recently got slashed, and I'm skeptical of it happening again after fixing them, so I'd like to get myself a cheap but decent / working security camera. However, I'm not sure if I should get CCTV, Analog, or what.

I live in an apartment complex, far in the back area. At night, the lighting is poor, and it's pretty dark outside. I can see my car from my window, so if I got a standing camera, I could conceal it and set it in the window sill. Other than that, I suppose anything is fair game.

My only stipulations are something in the range of $60-, and that I can wirelessly connect it to my computer since I spend a lot of time on said computer, and so would be able to watch it mostly at all times. It also needs to be able to record, so I can turn in evidence if this happens again.

Please and thank you for all help :)
