A small wireless camera that records at 1080p and streams live into an app. Movement in frame sends a notification straight to the phone, and infrared keeps the picture usable once the light goes. The shell is sealed against weather, so a porch suits it as well as a hallway.
With a wired camera you plan the cable first and the viewing angle second. A battery unit on WiFi turns that around: you put it where the view is, and move it again when the view changes. No hub sits between it and your phone.
A quiet look at the house from a train seat two hours out.
Fix it high enough to be out of reach, then angle it down onto the ground you actually want covered. Keep it within sensible range of the router, since concrete eats more signal than most people expect. Runtime depends on how often motion wakes it, so tune the sensitivity to the spot.
Mount it this weekend and keep an eye on the door.
