The follow feature on the new PTZ is nice, my Reolink has it also. No sneeking by it once it sees you.

The issue with wireless is they usually run on 2.5Ghz. That signal can easily be jammed by a device that is smaller than a cell phone.
Wired is the best, I have someone coming to run ethernet for me this coming week. 7 camera total with an NVR in my house. I own my data.
I can't stress enough how important it is to not let your recordings be stored in someone else's data center.

Most of the new reolinks run on 5ghz or even wifi 6 now.
Poe is the only ultimately secure way, but nothing is full proof. Have poe? Well your main power line just got cut ,or they broke into the house and stole your NVR.
If any of my wifi cams stopped working, I'd at least have a heads up to run home. They are just a layer like anything else.
Don't disagree. But yes POE cameras, power is backed up by an a UPS and then a whole house generator. Most would look right at my NVR and not know that is what it is to be honest.

As far as simple goes, I got into Blink cameras. Wireless, wifi, mount and done, and less than Ring.
I know you want wifi but would strongly recommend going with a wired system. Works when internet is down, not broadcasting your data, no batteries to change, can't slow down your internet connection for TV, web browsing, etc if streaming multiple HD images. I just think wired is a better solution. I installed a HikVision NVR a few months ago Works great 24/7 came with 6 cameras capable of 8 but only using 5 ATM. Accessible by phone 24/7 with no subscription or fees. Lots of other brands but the HikVision works great. My $0.02.
Perhaps OP should post a Poll of the top three or five systems/manufacturers and let the membership vote.
I too am very eager to install a home system as well as a hard wired/maintenance free system on a small Plaza we own...too many choices, and invariably 'our system is better than our competitor' which turns out to be abject advertising bullshit.
Been a while since I checked on this Thread.
I bought a few cameras. One in the front of the house, one in the rear. In time, I will place one in the side yard yard as well.
Just wanted something basic, this was a bit more than basic and I am quite happy..

Please excuse the mess, I have a million and a half projects I'm doing.
At first, I only bought one. At the price of 60 bucks, I was not expecting too much but I am overly impressed with this camera.
When I went back to order more, they were on soecual for 49$ with a $10 off coupon. I ordered four more.
I'm gonna set up an extra monitor to try them all in.
I'd like a wireless camera that recognizes cats. From at least ten feet away.
Most ignore targets so small, but instantly capture leaves fluttering on my tree
Suggestions ?

Mine will recognize people, cars, and animals and alert accordingly.

I did a screenshot from my phone to give an idea of clarity of my camera.
Camera is located about 19 feet off the ground.
The road is 240 feet from the camera. I can see my mailbox from that far...

Expensive but likely worth it.
I saved a short video... hang on
Maybe in another year. The 3 pack is a good deal.
I want very visible cameras for deterrence.
And very stealthy ones as insurance.

I would think about cutting down those few branches hanging in the screen view. That little movement causes the motion sensor to activate the camera unnecessarily and overloads your storage. If something happens and you have to review the footage, your review time is virtually 24/7 motion on the video. Without those branches the motion sensor would not be triggering the video to record. That would make the surveillance review infinitely easier.

We noticed it two days ago, when I first put them up, there was no issue. The winds came in pretty good and the branches sag a bot lower now. This weekend, I will be doing a bit of trimming....
Thank you
