I have two properties 158 miles apart, both with several computers running.  I know how to make boinctasks on one computer transmit the data from all the computers in that location to the cloud, but can I view the cloud within boinctasks on the other end so all the computers from both properties are displayed together?

The best way is the connect the networks together.
Like connecting two routers with a VPN, most routers support this.

tailscale.com has a real easy way to do just that, I use it for other stuff, but not tried it for BoincTasks.
What I'm up to the other half of the time "BorregoWildflowers.org"

That really does not sound easy!  I'm not good with networks.  I think what I'm going to do is just have Boinctasks transmit to the cloud, and use boinctasks to view the computers at the end I'm currently at, and cloud to view the ones at the remote location.

For the other thing - security cameras, I'll get those cloud IP cameras, so everything is stored on a rented cloud space, which I can access from anywhere, even my phone when I'm not at either property.  Which means the videos can't be destroyed if they steal the computers.
