Everyone needs at least one battery powered security camera. Recommend using something that avoids cloud bullshit. That limits things quite a bit, but I recommend lorex.
I got a decent motion-activated trail cam for around $50. It has no connectivity, so I need to occasionally transfer videos from the SD card. Works great.
Amcrest and Lorex are both that use the same supplier - Dahua. Empire Tech on Amazon sells them at a good price.
Just be sure to put them on a separate VLAN that doesn't have any internet access. This applies to any security cameras, not just ones from Chinese companies.
