Any suggestions on how I can add an exterior camera?

Hello!

I am reaching out to see if anyone has suggestions/insights on how I can add an exterior camera to remotely view my out of state rental property.  I'm not looking to do anything that would show the interior or view inside the property - I'm more concerned with the outside - i.e. making sure the landscaper actually came or that the snow removal actually happened, and to get an ideal of how many people might actually be living in the property.

I just checked on my out of state unit and was a bit surprised to see the landscaping was only happening monthly (although I'm paying for 2xmonth service) and that the 3 roommates actually had a total of 8 people living in the home.

Since the tenants are on a month to month lease, I just served 30 day notice to terminate the lease - so I plan on cleaning/remodeling the home once they are gone and I'm wanting to make sure I don't have the same issues with the next tenant.

BTW - Before anyone says the solution is better screening - I get it! I did not screen the original tenants because I decided to use a licensed realtor to do property managing for me.  I wish I would have known that the only screening he was doing was whether or not the tenants had money to move in so he could collect his commission.  So, I will be doing my own screening - but want to make sure I can also keep an "eye" on what's happening.

Any advice?
