Recommendations for relatively inexpensive (<$500'ish) outdoor camera system?

[dieselrealtor]

Had a couple of incidents in past 4 months for the first time in 16 years, need to get a camera system up.

Would like to have;

• high enough resolution to get facial & license plate info
• night vision at least 100'
• record on motion
• easy to set up & maintain for someone that is not an IT guy
• wireless capability for remote cameras (solar?)
• remote access without a pay subscription

I need to get moving on this over next few days.

Thanks in advance.

around properties with Wi-Fi, I use Blink cameras. With no Wi-Fi, cellular trail cameras.

But both have subscription and certain pro/cons. I’m interested to see what others recommend based on your parameters

Sam’s club sells a wide variety of camera systems. If you’re near one and a member you might check them out.
I got a night owl system and it’s been great. 5 years now

Eufy cameras are pretty good. We have 3 of them. They tick off all your needs except the 100 foot range. Over 30 yards is pushing it for motion detection on most mid range consumer cameras. https://www.eufy.com/collections/security-camera
