Exterior security camera recs?

[wahoowad]

The technology changes so fast that much of my online research is pulling up outdated solutions. I would appreciate any recommendations of a good value wifi security camera I can mount outside to capture movement in driveway and front door area.

I would likely mount this on my detached garage that offers a single 'overwatch' view of my driveway, front door and approaches around both sides of the house. My garage can supply power to the camera and I have plenty of wifi bandwidth to capture stills/video back to my home NAS.

Looking for a single camera solution that I can add on cameras if I want. Thanks for any recs!

Figured I'd give my perspective. I'm a cop and have seen quite a few different camera systems. The main problem it's camera placement and quality. Yeah, you see the person or persons coming in, taking things, maybe even a vehicle but 90% of the time, the camera isn't high enough quality or placed right to be able to get a positive id. If you know who you're looking for (like a neighbor or employee) you'll be able to pick them out on just about anything, but if it's a stranger, it's a lot harder. You can pm me with any further questions.

Don't worry, I won't be PM'ing anybody unless it's about helpful information. Jesus Christ.

Your response is way out of line you asked for information and the poster offered helpful information.

I thought smithm1979's post rather informative, also. Attitude won't get you very much help.
