Hi,
I don't know much about available options but I personally like the Netatmo
Presence cameras although those are WiFi-only and might not be suitable for
your requirements (as far as I know you HAVE to use their smartphone app for
example, and set up an account to control your camera). I’d otherwise suggest
having a look at Zoneminder if you want centralised recording. They seem to
support lots of cameras and I think they have some recommendations on supported
hardware. Haven’t had time to dig in myself though.
