Security Cameras - No Wifi No 4g Suggestions
A tenant had his car broken into recently so I'm looking into beefing up the outdoor security. I've been researching a lot of security camera solutions but can't seem to find a simple yet effective one to purchase. All of the ones I've looked at have WIFI, Hardwired, or 4G requirements but I don't want any of that. Not living at the property it seems like a waste to purchase wifi or piggyback of a tenant's network and the need for real time alerts seems unneeded for an investment property.
The important features to me seem to be: high quality, motion sensored or rolling recording, night vision, and internal storage. Are there any cameras out there that fulfill all of this and work standalone? There's no need to have the footage available unless an incident occurred so as long as the camera kept the latest 3 days ongoing I'd say that would be enough. Even if you couldn't grab the footage from bluetooth but had to get the SD card from the camera would be fine. I'm not expecting incidents to happen often if ever, or I hope.
Any suggestions or personal experiences with other solutions are welcomed.

@Chad Hrapmann I recently installed a 2nd set of night owl 4k cams at work. I buy them from my local Sam's club for $300. They work great and have a 2tb hard drive which will record a few weeks 24 hrs a day or even longer if it just records with motion alarms. Easy set up and can be fully stand alone systems. I use a thumb drive to pull footage for incedents. Cams come with 60ft of cable each. I bought and installed 20k systems down to $20 systems and my night owls are one of my favorites. If you had WiFi I would say go with a couple cheap wyze cams they cost 20 bucks and are freaking awesome but not fully stand alone.
