If you want plug-and-play and you're not averse to internet-enabled cameras, I use the Hive Indoor/Outdoor cameras and find them reliable, high quality and well-integrated in the app with push/email notifications and IFTTT. The fact they can tie into the home alarm system, smart lamps/plugs etc is a big win for me. Night vision works well over short distances.

I would say that it's worth trying to see some test video on whatever you go for before purchasing. I tried out a Ring Indoor Cam which is supposedly 1080p but only 15fps - it suffered from quite bad motion blur if you walked through a room at a good pace, as well as being visibly much lower bitrate than the Hive 1080p so I returned it.
