I just bought a S3VC WiFi outdoor camera. Haven’t installed yet but initial testing looks good. This camera seems to sort of bridge the gap between all the different options. It requires wired power (which may be a deal breaker for you) but can use a 128gb micro sd card to record to or it can record to FTP, etc. The phone app also seems pretty user friendly and has the ability to connect to and control several cameras. You can setup a fence on the image for motion activated recording, it will continuously record to the address card and write over from the beginning when full, or you can set it to only record when motion activated or at certain intervals. You can also set it to notify you via app and also email with images during an alarm event. I bought a 30’ power extension to run power to my nearest outlet (they sell much longer ones). Hope this helps.
