Which camera security system do you use?

Looking for an EXTERIOR camera that will allow me to remotely view the property - that can be recorded to a cloud/something in case I need the documentation. 

I would prefer to not have one that needs to be charged. Please let me know which system you prefer and why. My husband and I are soon to be landlords who live across the country!

I used Ethernet wired Digital Watch Dog cameras. They are more commercial grade and you don't need to recharge them or change batteries.
They have a website.

I have 2 at my Vrbo that is an hour away.

I don't pay for cloud storage. I have the video recorded on a local computer (laptop) and I can access it from any where including my phone. I can zoom in and out and rewind footage to where it detected motion.

I also get an email with a picture upon motion activation of any area in the field of view that I select.
