An outdoor camera has three jobs: survive the weather, see far enough to matter, and not create a new monthly bill. The six below do all three - every one stores clips locally, and five of the six charge themselves with sunlight.
Coverage thinking beats camera thinking: most homes need the front door covered first, then the driveway, then the back door. One 360° pan/tilt camera on a back corner pole can sweep an entire yard that would otherwise need three fixed cameras.
For dark corners, a floodlight camera replaces the fixture you already have with a 2,500-lumen light and a dual-lens camera - light is still the most honest deterrent there is. And for gates, barns or job sites beyond Wi-Fi range, the 4G LTE camera on this page records over cellular.
Night vision matters more outdoors than any spec sheet admits. All picks here have infrared night vision; the eufy dual-lens models add color night vision from extra light gathering. Mount height matters too: 8-10 feet reads faces without being reachable, and keeps lenses above sprinkler line.

Front door first (8-10 feet up), then the driveway, then the back door. Angle down 15-30 degrees and avoid pointing at the sun's daily path or neighbor property.
The ones on this page are - all carry IP65-or-better weather sealing for rain, dust and temperature swings. Solar panels and mounts are rated the same.
These record on motion (or person detection), not continuously - that is what keeps battery life measured in months and local storage measured in months of clips.
A determined thief can unplug or unscrew anything. The mitigation is local storage that keeps footage already recorded, plus mounting above easy reach.
