If you have got decent wifi (Outside) then Ring is a very good option. Although they also do wired outdoor cameras as well. Very easy to set up, but you will have to pay a subscription to maintain the recordings. I have the doorbell and it is great but as said only on when motion is detected. Ring also do a stick up cam, which is battery operated so no wires at all. Battery last a surprisingly long time.
I also have Hikconnect CCTV PoE (power over ethernet) cameras as well due to a burglary we had last year. They are inexpensive and pretty straightforward to connect and provide full HD recording quality day and night. They work over data cable (Cat5/6/7) and are connected to a NVR (Network Video Recorder) which has a hard drive in. I have 4 HD cameras and a 3TB HDD, it has capacity for 3 weeks of 24/7 recording). The whole set up was less than £500. There are less expensive non branded versions around but Hikvision are a big brand and you will find lots of cheap installers around as well. |  | | |

Similar - I recently installed (myself) a 4 camera Reolink POE system. It records in 4k, so my theory is that you can site the camera at some distance away (tamper free, covering wider area?) and still probably be able to provide cover and useful recordings if ever needed. Free android app, good client appand can set up to record to a ftp server (I did it but file sizes large!), upgraded the hard drive to 4TB to give me 20 odd days historic recording. It's not perfect, but good quality and value for less than £500.
I researched for ages, had quotes from alarm company etc., there are so many systems on the market and they all seemed to have advantages and disadvantages. You have to work out what you want out of it, and work backwards. For example, Arlo do a battery powered wi-fi only system (it's quite expensive), obviously with no cabling needed. However, to get anywhere near the 6 month battery life you would have to fine tune the motion detect (camera springs to life and starts recording to cloud - which they charge for btw) and this is fraught with problems. Birds, cobwebs, rain, innocent passers by won't comply with your requirements! Also, once you've installed, get loads of CCTV stickers from ebay and pop them INSIDE the windows. Prevention is better than cure eh. Good luck! |  | | |

I have the Blink XT system.
Pros: Probably the easiest system to set up, free online storage, good app, good quality daytime image and sound recording, motion sensor wetc.
Cons: Setting the sensor area is a bit random, it gets triggered by cards going up and down the road on occasion. NIght time vision is not a patch on daytime, I have supplemented it using a solar light.
The Blink XT2 is meant to improve on the night vision and has two way audio | | | |

In answer to the OP just be careful at these dogging sites. That rustling in the trees isn't a tawny owl bringing home fresh kill for its fledglings.....it's South Wales Police's finest zoom lens. |  | | |
