You've never actually tried a RPi with a camera, have you?
As Ken said, the RaspberryPi is a very bad choice for such a
job.
The plural of anecdote is not fact.
Have *you* tried it?
The TP-Link TL-WR703N is less powerful than the Raspberry, yet it does
run 'monitor' with dual cameras.
1. I think you're mixing up who said what 2. You haven't actually
read that page, have you?
Or these:-

Kind regards, Andrei
Kind regards
While it's understandable, unless one rereads the posts in a thread,
that who said what can be lost, so I'll clarify: I didn't say the RPi
was a bad choice for a security camera. What I did say was that I'd
read that some people claimed to have done it (and were happy with the
result). Here's one I just read which provides step-by-step instructions:
<http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/665518/Raspberry-Pi-as-low-cost-HD-surveillance-camera>
There are others.
Re: the contention that "it doesn't work": That would need more
clarification. E.g., perhaps full-motion video doesn't work, but this
isn't necessary for a security camera. In the article I reference
above, the author configured 2fps @ 1280x720. But then he also was
running a webserver on the same RPi. I probably wouldn't do that, but
rather offload the video to another machine and watch it from there.
The point is, as is often the case, whether this works or doesn't may
well be contingent on the system's configuration.
