Camera recommendations for BlueIris or Frigate

As mentioned in the title I plan to use a PC instead of a dedicated NVR. I’ve read that some cameras don’t play well with either Blue Iris and/or Frigate. I’m normally pretty technical and like digging into these things but my spouse died which has me… totally f’d up. So something that I can get working easily for now and fine tune later if needed would be perfect. I’ll be installing it myself in a month or so once it cools off some.

I’m looking to spend up to $500, minimum 4 POE cameras (one on each corner of 30’x60′ rectangle) 3 of which can be lower quality since they basically look at woods. Nice to haves would be a doorbell camera and a camera in the carport but I can add those later since my budget is pretty low atm. The 4th and most important camera covers the driveway and all the doors to the house so I’d like it to be good quality.

Even if its not in the current budget, recommendations for a good doorbell camera that plays well with BI/Frigate would be appreciated.
