I recently installed the Ring floodlight cam and couldn't be happier.
Ring is one of the cameras that I’ve read about being hacked.

Everything can be hacked.
Put it somewhere out of voice range and not pointing at you when you are nude.
I haven't found any non professional units that work well at night. Still images look good but with movement they are terrible.

My night images are fantastic.

Their wifi was hacked, not the "camera".
I meant to say system or whatever. I’m not very well versed on these things lol

I use the Netgear Arlo Pro wireless system. It activates almost instantly when it detects motion or sound and sends an audible alert and video to your mobile device and PC. It also has two-way voice capability so you can interact without opening a door. The videos are archived on-line and can be downloaded. The batteries are rechargeable. They hold a charge for weeks at a time. The more images they record, the more often they need recharging. You can use up to five cameras at no cost. For more than that there is a fee.

Depending on your own abilities to set it up, I like the Ubiquiti UniFi series. It's $230 for good quality 1080p cameras and then you can use a desktop computer to install the recording software on or get a dedicated network video recorder. You would also need a PoE network switch to power the cameras which can be had for cheap if you want to.
If you just want a full system that is plug and play AND cheap maybe this isn't for you, but I think UniFi is a great platform.

If you have Comcast service, their home security system is decent and cheap. I haven't had any false alarms. The system is easy to use. One drawback I'll mention is if your internet service is cut, the camera footage is cut too. It will not record like a discrete security dvr. Also, they make you pay in installments for the equipment but they do end of life upgrades and battery swaps for free.

Make sure you check the interior cameras when you get texts from your alarm system.
