Most outdoor surveillance cameras seem to function only with iOS or Android which makes them useless for the purpose here and we don't know why anyone would want to watch a house from hundreds of miles away anyhow.
Yevette is usually far from the front door and won't hear it if anyone is out there. Therefore, the problem to solve is making a link with video so she can see activity out there without rising from her chair. There's no need for recording since whatever happens doesn't matter much when she's not at the chair.
The situation is not a problem to solve for me since I can hear most things which happen out there. I'll decide if it's just another cat fight or if it actually needs attention but I don't need a camera for that.
There will be an SD card in the camera and / or it will use some type of cloud service but no-one here cares who was at the door twelve hours ago or whatever. The interest is, in part, because some of the cameras are equipped with motion detectors which permit sending an alert when something happens out there. That means it's not necessary to monitor the camera all the time so she only needs to open a window to it if she has a valid reason.
The cam which will solve the problem must use WiFi since no-one wants to fool with fishing wires through walls to run an Internet cable to it. There's some question about whether the WiFi from the door would be able to connect to the router which is back by Yevette. It could be moved but such an eyesore and such a damn nuisance.
Here are multiple outdoor surveillance cameras and they're often called 'bullet cameras,' presumably because it didn't occur to the clever namer nothing is more distant from the camera's capability.

It was kind of comical see these cameras listed by a Safety outfit since the only things easier to hack than these devices is anything in DNC email. The people using such devices are often naive and what would you expect from someone who uses a camera to monitor a baby. Typically, they fail to follow any security procedures and, presto, Baby is on the Internet. Genius.
Security measures were not mentioned with any of these cameras except in terms of the security they provide but we find that amusing when the lack of security on the camera means anyone on the Internet can watch. There was a huge hack of these devices only within about the last six months so that exposure is definitely real.
While we don't much care about security on the camera, there's no need to provide an easy mark for punks to use it as a drone to steal credit cards or whatever.
There's no immediate plan to purchase and that's not possible anyway after Bank of America ate my candy but the curiosity is high for the reasons above. The question is whether any of you have tried this and how did it work out for you.
Note: the answer is NOT to get an iPhone as there are few things I want less when I've never seen those Angry Birds and I don't know why people like to find Pokemons, whatever they may be. When that's what an iPhone brings, I seriously don't need one; I'm surprised anyone does.
