I've looked into similar capability, but have not made a decision.
Just searched for this type of product and found
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Oco-Pro-Bullet-Outdoor-Indoor-1080p-Cloud-Surveillance-and-Security-Camera-with-Remote-Viewing-4-Pack-OPHWB4-16US/300505129">https://www.homedepot.com/p/Oco-Pro-Bullet-Outdoor-Indoor-1080p-Cloud-Surveillance-and-Security-Camera-with-Remote-Viewing-4-Pack-OPHWB4-16US/300505129</a>
as a sample. One of the reviews says "These are a great camera for
people who do not want to have a DVR box or hard wired cameras. You
still have to wire power but the wifi feature with the SD card
storage is the way of the future. This is great for homes without
cable internet that have a lot of cameras since DSL or wireless
connections would get bogged down if all the clips were being
uploaded like with Nest or Arlo etc. I have yet to find another
camera like this. Hikvision is likely the OEM that rebrands these
for Oco which is a good thing as they are the largest IP camera
maker in the world and know how to do it. Also, these do not run hot
like the samsung I tried before this." I have no experience with
this specific product and only offer it as an example.<br>
<br>
If you can run a single network cable, you can install Power Over
Ethernet (PoE) cameras connected to a digital video recorder (DVR)
that records everything to a hard drive that you can watch on a
monitor/TV or on a computer. These solutions start at about $300.
The key thing here is to put the central DVR in a location that a
thief wouldn't find (not next to your computer or TV).<br>
<br>
I've learned a good bit from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ipcamtalk.com/">https://ipcamtalk.com/</a> <br>
<br>
I have a neighbor that runs a system using Blue Iris software on a
PC and says he likes it.<br>
<br>
I've read in several places that a battery only camera isn't a good
idea as the motion sensing will drain the battery often enough that
it becomes problematic. <br>
<br>
If looking at a Ring doorbell, make sure your internet connection is
good enough. Ring says you need at least 2MB upload if you hunt
enough though their site. Even after moving from DSL to cable
internet to get 2MB, the connection still is not always good enough.<br>

<div dir="ltr">We live in the country on 10 acres. Our nearest
neighbors are around a mile away. We don't bother to lock the
doors unless we're going to be gone at least overnight. Someone
could bulldoze the house and no one would be likely to hear or
see it happening. Monitored home security is really a
non-starter. We're 35 miles from the nearest town that would
provide that type of service.

<div>I just realized that I could put up small, self contained
"game" type cameras to cover the front and back doors,
hopefully to help ID anyone that breaks in, and reinforce any
insurance claims. I'm talking battery powered or at least
battery back-up, motion controlled, using SD cards or some
other removable memory.</div>

<div>Just started research, but thought tossing it out to the
group worth doing.</div>
