I wanted to go the ring route but my doorbell doesn't face the right direction and relocating it really isn't an option. I ended up going with a Wireless/battery powered unit from amazon. Yesterday marks one month of having it and so far it's been great. The battery for me, lasted the whole month and still had 10% battery yesterday when I removed it to charge it. The more you check it, the faster the battery drains. It has a two way speaker, SD card slot, live feed, recording capability, cloud storage if you want to pay for it, multiple settings for alarms/motion detection, etc. The magnet ball mount works great and it really snaps into place. I previously had a wired unit setup in on the inside of the living room window but depending on the time of day, it would wash out the picture.

It's pretty sensitive and does a pretty good job of filtering out false moving objects. Every now and then, the plants in front of the house will trigger it on a windy day but it's not often. Here are some recent captures of what it picks up
It's been really helpful when packages get delivered.
It's even picked up the neighborhood pussy cats, four legged and two legged....
