I've had a Lorex system hardwired and wireless at my old home, 6 cams, monitor.. great to see who's at the door, not always great to forward you alarms or pics, the internet portion went down a lot and was a pain to setup and resetup every few months...
Friend at work tried Arlo and told me not to bother, it was pricey and 1/2 his stuff died quickly. Batteries were short lived, mostly he had to exchange 1/2 his 4 cameras within a few months.
Currently I'm on my 3rd D-link cam. They've worked well for 2 years straight, have gone down once only (cured by a reboot). The phone app works, and it is pushing notifications to my iphone when something happens. No web backup, no cloud storage fees (though you can!!)... So yes, I might miss out on a movie of the postman dropping a box, but by and large this works for me... I get a push notification pinging me and showing me what's up (nothing, most of the time). I click the notification and withn 5 seconds or so I see what triggered it (the shadow of a branch)! $100 a pop... Does the job... Probably not what you are looking for but it works and the price is hard to beat !
