I'd recommend checking out "Project Farm" reviews. They do actual tests and comparisons of products rather than the current trend of reading off marketing copy and shilling sponsored products. I've seen some of their reviews on cameras and the difference in clarity across brands is shocking. Not that important if you just want to know "my package was stolen", but very important if you want to read their license plate.

Here is one such review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYUY61ZFZAs

He does a good job at reviewing the cameras themselves but IIRC, all of the cameras he reviewed require cloud connectivity, and many of those clouds are "overseas."
