I’ve done enough reading to kind of narrow down to these options but if you know of something better I’m all ears!

Needs: As I’m a renter I’m looking for completely wireless (wifi and battery) subscription free options for monitoring activity at front door (covered porch) and back door (covered porch). I’m hoping for a doorbell in the front (currently the hardwired doorbell in the house is non functional) and considering either another doorbell (since they are cheap and would probably be good enough) or standalone camera for the rear. I would like live streaming, no subscription, and ideally some recording functions.

Because of my application I’m not overly concerned with security considerations of the video stream/encryption which is why I’m considering Eufy even with their “issues”.

We had someone come into our back porch last summer and had the land lord install a motion flood light that covers the whole backyard so that would likely scare off anyone that shouldnt be there. There’s no light on the actual porch but nearby lights from a business are always on and a small light or IR camera would do what I’m looking for.

I picked out a Eufy doorbell, L40 camera, Home Base, and home base battery backup all for $310.

Other option is Wyze where I picked out the video doorbell pro and a outdoor cam V2, much less expensive than the Eufy setup ($150 not including SD cards)

Downsides to Wyze are limited storage in SD cards. Anything else?

It seems like both setups allow for local storage and viewing of stored and live feeds from the app? Am I missing anything?

If we owned the house or had easy access to power or Ethernet runs I would likely build our a more complete system with UniFi products but just not at that stage.

Edited to add ieGeek/CloudEdge options which even has a solar powered camera that would be great for our alley parking area (motorcycle and vespa parked there(
