wi fi cctv

I already have two fully wired cctv camera's around my property but have a need now to cover a car parked in a back lane which is directly outside my property..
I cannot be bothered with the hassle of placing a wired camera there and just wondered if anyone has ideas on a simple camera to use . I have a power supply close by and the ability to use internet Power Plugs .
Keep in your thoughts the poor Beasts of burden around the World and curse All who do them harm.

    Why not replicate the cameras you have, used with a powerline ethernet adaptor pair? If you are OK with WiFi and a battery, Amazon are currently offering a 67% discount on their Blink Outdoor camera with two-year battery life

    Have a look at the Reolink range, Amazon good for deals or go direct to Reolink website.

    I'm another for Vitor's suggestion - much cleaner to keep all cameras on the same platform.

    Failing that, my (biased) recommendation would be Google Nest (only by virtue of using them myself) but Ring, Blink, Arlo, etc are all options. It's common for some of the features (like decent video history) to be pay-walled.
