[Background: Our Dynamark home security system protects against burglary/intrusion/fire and is monitored remotely via landline to a staffed service center. An alarm results in the immediate dispatch of PD and/or FD. Our insurance discount basically pays for the security and landline services. But our system has no cameras. And adding Dynamark cameras increases the security service costs, but doesn't increase the insurance discount.]
So I'm shopping for 3rd party security cameras - mainly so we can keep an eye on deliveries, arrival/departure of service personnel, critter visits, etc. Consumer Reports ranks Nest #1, followed closely by Arlo, Ring, and Eufy. Looking for 3 or 4 well-built, wireless/rechargeable outdoor cameras, with good range, and viewable remotely on an iPhone. Don't really need to store video for more than a day or so. Thinking further steps might include home automation (lights and HVAC), so expandability and compatibility with something like HomeKit or Alexa is important.
Eufy looks interesting:
