Cant give any recommendations as not that impressed with what I have tbh.
But... steer clear of wireless, its much too problematic / unreliable from my experience.

I was looking into this as well but something not ridiculously expensive.
Someone at work uses this:

He is with happy with it, I seem to remember him saying he gets 24 hours of video free storage to download each day. Also the usual alerts and stuff to the phone.
But I was also interested in these 2 as well:

Still at the research phase though but thought these may be of interest to you.

I have the Swann HDpro CCTV and RING door bell. I’m happy with both.

Have you just shown everyone on the Internet your CCTV coverage?

Cheers yea i have seen these before, but looks like they are more indoor usage apart from the time 2 kit, would be good to have the outdoor system and add on for a few cameras indoor as well, kill 2 birds with 1 stone i guess,
Have a look at the Ring door bell they have the camera also built in which seem a great thing

Only 2 angles. There’s 7 other cameras that you ain’t never gonna see. SFO

I have this system. It's wireless and the batteries last for 3 months before a recharge. It means you can't put the cameras where you can't reach them to change/charge the batteries but close enough to upper windows works for me.

No wireless issues and dead easy to set up. I can view on my phone and set notifications too. Great night vision as well.

I've had a Ring doorbell for years and it is the reason I had prior warning of people snooping around my house 4 weeks before they came back and tried to break in. Luckily, due to the Ring doorbell picking them up without them knowing (sets my phone off whenever there is motion near the front door) I was better prepared for their return.
If you are prepared to go wired, I've seen some friends Hikvision set ups at both domestic and commercial properties and they are impressisve. Bit more expensive but worthwhile I think.

I think I'd agree with a wired setup as the best solution.....
