Arlo Pro 5S

I'd point most people toward this two-camera set if they want a wire-free outdoor setup that covers a front door and a backyard without running cables: the 2K HDR picture with color night vision and the built-in spotlight makes it easier to see who's actually there, and the dual-band Wi-Fi helps it stay connected. Before you buy, check that you have strong Wi-Fi at each mounting spot and a plan for the Arlo features you want, since some of the smarter detection and cloud storage options sit behind a subscription, and confirm whether you want the hub-free setup or a base station for local storage.
