I have similar needs, but aldo need them to be outdoor/waterproof and PoE capable.

I looked at DIY with Raspberry Pi high quality cameras, but the outdoor requirements mean I really need a manufactured housing. (Camera will be in an area very hard to reach for servicing.)

I wonder if there is any project to hack the generic chinese camera makes and install custom firmware?

I use a Raspberry Pi with PoE+ hat which I've just placed in a waterproof CCTV enclosure. I used a waterproof ethernet cable gland.
