2 outdoor camera’s, no drilling, only record movement, live app+notifications, no subscription

Hi guys!

About a week ago, my bicycle got stolen including my home key. Fast forward: locks all replaced, but I want to get notifications when some one’s on my property.

Been deepdiving in security camera’s, but there’s quite a lot of brands. Right now I’m dubbing between Reolink and Eufycam. Seen some others being appraised too but here’s my requirements:

  • 4K clear image, sharp at least within 5 meters
  • Recording only when motion is detected
  • Recording on SD OR NVR
  • I want to look back shots with motion for at least 3 weeks. Stuff older than 4 weeks: don’t care.
  • No subscription
  • Notifications on iPhone when camera detects motion
  • No drilling of holes. So the camera’s should be wifi and battery operated.
  • Being able to call criminals names through a mobile phone app, telling them to sod off.
  • Loud alarm (nice to have)

Budget: around 400 if possible, but willing to go slightly up if it really is worth it.

The situation:

Home with LG and 2 floors up. Doors to the outside at LG (2 doors) and from the veranda. We have a terrace at the 1st floor with a staircase down on the outside.

Front door has lightTerrace is pitch black at nightRear door has a light with a sensor – and some other “street lights”. So that place is illuminated quite well.

If the camera’s are WIFI operated, then I just have to connect the NVR to my local network where the wifi router is on and it all connects right?

Was thinking of:

Reolink Duo 2 WiFi 4K WiFi Camera with Ultra-Wide Angle (2 times)Smart 2K+ Wired WiFi Video Doorbell with Chime8-Channel PoE NVR for 24/7 Reliable Recording

Or the Eufy route
:eufyCam S300 (eufyCam 3C) (https://eu.eufy.com/products/t8881321 ) Which is a combo of the Homebase3 and 2 camera’s.Video Doorbell S330 Add-on

Advice is very welcome. Many thanks in advance!
