I went with Nest cameras for two main reasons - at the time, they offered the best motion light + camera combo AND their service fee is reasonable.
You can swap out the motion detector lights with a camera. Ideally they're mounted just a few feet out of reach (10 ft?) - they cam be mounted higher but it might be more difficult to recognize someone on camera.
For me, it was important to have the integrated motion light - if someone's doing something near my house that they shouldn't be, it should be abundantly clear to them that I might be aware of it.
