Need help in my search for a full home camera setup.

I have read through many posts on the subreddit and not found an exact match so I am just going to go ahead and write down exactly what I am looking for so I can get some help.

Cameras I want –

  1. Doorbell
  2. At least 1 front of house, maybe 2 by having floodlight cam if its included in a kit would be cool.
  3. Another for back of house. so total 2-3 outdoor is all I really need.
  4. Indoor… maybe – we like having indoor cam but the security concerns are… concerning, right now we pan them around when we want to look in the house for just having fun with the kid/home parent while away at work, but we just have some cheap knock-offs that I probably should have never connected to the internet. So recommendation on if systems integrate these nicely or if its horrible and I should just avoid. Count could be anywhere from 2-5 at the current house. 3 common areas plus backups to kids bedrooms if something happens to the normal monitors during the night its very convenient to have that backup.

Features –

  1. Cheap or no monthly subscription.
  2. Doorbell or outside cam can see license plate at the road ~65 feet (is this even possible without being crazy expensive camera?)
  3. I think I prefer wifi just because I already have a million home projects, running PoE cables everywhere just makes me hurt to think about.
  4. “Rich” Notification for doorbell sounds really nice.
  5. Access to all of them from an app, would be nice if it was all one system so I didn’t have different apps for different systems and whatnot.
  6. If they are hardwired for power then continuous recording, I don’t know if this requires basestations/NVR or how that works, one of the main reasons for post.
  7. Oh and if any can pan around (especially indoor unless super fov is good enough if you think)

So yeah basically does a system like this even exist? I have looked at the reolink and eufy websites (and Ring and Nest but I don’t necessarily want to pay their monthly costs but does reolink have one now for the doorbells? finding conflicting info) and not seen a kit that just says “Full home kit with doorbell and indoor and outdoor all in one” Which is exactly what I am hoping to buy, maybe I was just looking in the wrong spot.

Any brands and specific kit recommendations please recommend!
