While webcams usually rely on wifi signal, giving it flexibility to it’s placement, you’ll still need to cater a power point for it. For non-critical coverage, webcams are ideal.
Many webcams offer some form of local memory card storage which allows you to store short periods of footage.

An NVR (Network Video Recorder) system offers dedicated, 24/7 surveillance with higher-quality cameras, better night vision, and secure local recording. Unlike webcams that rely on your computer and internet, an NVR system runs independently and continues recording even during internet and power outages with backup power systems.
If you run a small office and only need to monitor the main door for parcels and visitors, a web cam is probably sufficient with 7 days of local storage in the SD-card.
