I live alone and my neighbor found some drunk and/or high folks trespassing on my property while I wasn't home the other day. I want to put up cameras as a safety thing, but I hate Ring.

I'm a broke botch rn too, so the subs for the cameras or whatever can't be crazy.

I use the cheap ones on Amazon that require no subscription and use an app called CloudEdge. They're limited, but they take video and send notifications on motion quite reliably and you can get a live look through them anytime anywhere. They're like $30 and I've already had two for over two years without issues. App bugs you to upgrade/AI, but is easy to ignore. Might be sending secret info to the Chinese government about how often the post arrives, but I only use them outside anyway.
