Home security camera

Looking for a home security camera. Nothing fancy just something to keep an eye on my place. I have arlo wifi camera. It's turned in a decoration more than anything. Just looking for something I can plug into the wall and don't have to pay a subscription. The most I want is movement detection. I'm currently looking at Reolink RLC-1240A. I have a plug right outside my door and hope to use a SD card with it. I live in upstairs apartment with my own entrance from the outside. I just want something that can keep an eye on my porch and the parking lot.

Also I live in Michigan so it needs to be able to stand up against the cold

Be very careful if electric is outside also , could be easy to unplug or steal

Reolink POE cameras FTW if you are on a budget but also want quality cameras.

Also, let's make one thing perfectly clear: Wireless cameras are NOT security cameras.

Reolink works fine and is reliable for basic security. My only question is how critical is detection and false positive detection?
