Is it ethical to monitor elderly parents with cameras?

Always get consent. Frame it as a tool that lets them stay independent longer rather than surveillance. Motion sensors offer a privacy-respecting alternative that still alerts you to problems.

What if my parent does not have WiFi?

Many cellular-enabled medical alert devices work without WiFi. For smart home devices, you may need to set up an internet connection at their home first—consider a simple hotspot device.
