Recommendation for basic camera system for apartment?

I’m trying to find a security camera for an apartment. I don’t need anything fancy; even just a camera that I could point at the door and would sense/record motion would be fine.

Eufy and Wyze looked promising at first, but I really don’t trust them after reading about the vulnerabilities they’ve had. I’m not so sure about wireless options in general, as they seem pretty vulnerable to jamming or deauth attacks.

So I’m leaning towards a wired DVR or PVR. Any suggestions? I’d be fine with something that doesn’t even send alerts to your phone, as long as it had some kind of indicator I could check when I return home.

I tried a Night Owl PVR but spent over an hour with their tech support just trying to get my account created because it said my phone number was already associated with another account (which turned out to not even be true), followed by trying to get the PVR’s initial setup to not crash. Which we weren’t successful in, so I wound up just having to return it.
