• Is there a way to signal to the driver their car has been turned on?

  You're gonna have to get something like a bouncie bouncie.com/device $77 to buy, $8 /mo for LTE, for notification that car has been turned on.

• Child Pornography on Sale from Hacked Hikvision “Baby Monitor” Cameras

  If the camera is ONVIF compatible, and most Hikvision are, it should work with Zoneminder and its mobile Open Source app zmninja. As for the cloud, if you have a public (not necessarily static) IP and your carrier doesn't filter incoming connections, you can use a dynamic DNS such as DuckDNS.
