The Blink cameras are so small that I don't know if anybody even notices them. Like jyl I have mine set under the eaves so it would need a ladder to remove them.

Highly recommended for the price.
Maybe try rechargeable lithiums?

I bought one of the "outdoor" Blink cameras that has night vision. Works fine.

They are coming out with a video doorbell.

Blink has been bought by Amazon so I'd expect Alexa integration eventually, if that matters.

For $99/camera, I'm very happy. Maybe Amazon will make them cheaper . . .
