You missed a CAM to rec. We use Foscam's doorbell CAM (we also use their floodlight ones) You don't have to pay for many features (motion alarms, uploading images to FTP, etc.) and their CAMs are compatible with Blue Iris software. NO cloud plan is required at all. Their free app that allows remote viewing of live feeds on PC/Phone/Tablet is great (screenshot is their PC app at full screen with menus hidden), BTW, in addition to us using Blue Iris for live web remote streaming for those without their apps (http://www.wallcasacam.com)

Wyze cams seem to be the best value since a cloud plan is not required at all and has local SD card storage u can access remotely 4 free.
