I went cheap. Im not guarding Ft. Knox, but I do want to keep an eye on things. I have 4 Wyze cameras on the exterior of my house, one in my garage, and one on the exterior of my garage. They arent recommended for outside use, so I bought some weather resistant mounts. $25/camera plus $10 for the mount and $6 for a 32GB SD card for storage. They set up easily through an app on my phone and are connected to my home WiFi. The app is free and I can view playback without taking down the camera and removing the SD card.
The upside is they are comparatively inexpensive and easy to install and use through the app.
The downside is they have to be plugged in to a regular wall outlet using a USB cable. HOWEVER, I was looking at their website the other day and apparently they now have a camera designed for outdoor use which uses a rechargeable battery. No experience with them because they werent available when I bought mine this spring. I bought 16 USB cables (I forget what I paid for them $10?) and plugged them in to my exterior electrical outlets. It isnt foolproof, someone could cut the power cables, but I didnt want to spend the money to run electricity to my overhangs where I mounted them. My BIL uses them also, but he had outlets in his overhangs for Christmas lights, so his were super simple to install. A friend runs them also, but he had outlets in his attic he could easily access. It is good enough for me. I have less than $400 invested and have my home and garage covered.
My younger brother spent closer to $2000 to install a stand alone system with hardwired cameras powered over Ethernet cables. I forget the name, but he has a central storage and it is all integrated with all his SmartHome devices. Im sure it is better, and it does some neat things, but I couldnt justify the cost. Like I said, what I did is good enough for me.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
