Lots of new old junk for sale. Avoid it.
You want
- ip-cameras
- night/day vision
- real time motion monitoring
- real time alerts via SMS
- view over internet, so you can check things out, for example with smart phone when alert comes
- network storage
For outside cameras, Foscam fi9804w is good value for money. Good quality stream, strong casing. Default lens has a decent (wider) angle than fi9805w and many other Foscam's. Also the 9804w does not suffer from night time glare on the lens, like 9805w has more IR-led's and people have trouble with the glare.
Before you buy, check where you would mount the cam(s), how wide view you want. If you have 13 metres distance and you want 10 metres wide picture, you will not cover it with a 27 degree camera angle. Calculate simple trigonometry!
Shooting high is not really worth it, since you can always buy a better cam tomorrow.
To set it up with automated SMS and all requires some skills and diy. But it is well worth it.
