Tim - I second Old Dirtbeard's response below for a quick solution.
Rings work well and are easy to install if you have strong WiFi at each
location. Rings need about 5Mbps upload speeds, so my initial DSL
didn't cut it. I have a Ring doorbell that is fantastic now that I have
a better ISP. It is only a few dollars a month of the online package
that saves a month of recordings. The motion detection alerts are good
as well. It can be triggered by moths at night, but otherwise is great.
My property is spread out vertically and horizontally and I don't have
good WiFi coverage for a full wireless system, so I put in a wired PoE
NVR (Network video recorder) system. PoE is Power over Ethernet so each
camera is wired with a single cat5e cable. The advantage of this is
that there are no solar panels to try and get sun, batteries to monitor,
or 110v power needed. The cameras can also be more discrete. I have a
4K eight camera system from Lorex bought on sale from Costco. Video
quality is great. The price was good, but the false positives for
motion detection caused me to turn off the alerts.
My system came with a base network box with a hard drive about the size
of a dictionary and the cameras. For most of the cameras I used the
supplied network cables. For the other cameras I bought a 500' box of
cat5e cable and made my own longer cables. It is pretty easy to make
cables. I also have a battery backup (UPS) powering the NVR and my
internet modem. I can use my phone and the Lorex app to check each
camera remotely. There is no monthly fee because everything is stored
on the hard drive of the NVR in my house.
You can also get a simple camera that records with a SD memory card. If
you go this route, pay extra for a surveillance system quality card that
is capable of continuous recording. Any current system that records
will overwrite old recordings so there is no need to delete anything.Â
The bigger the memory, the longer recordings are saved.
If you want to read a bunch on this topic, https://ipcamtalk.com/ is
very good.

It really is a simple matter of powering them up and
