I'm partial to Wyze. They are very inexpensive with a reasonable subscription fee for cloud storage. They'll recognize a person, package, pet, etc. Their version 4 camera is 2K, and has a light that can activate based on motion. Here's an image of a prowler by my house from last month. www.wyze.com

The gov't, particularly Public Safety Canada, CSIS and RCMP, needs to do a much better job trying to convince Canadians that standardized and mandated intercept capabilities are really necessary. "Trust us" doesn't work.
