Get yourself a wyze camera.  You can have it record to sd card. It records 12 seconds to the cloud and it will notify you when it senses motion.  https://www.amazon.ca/Wyze-Wireless-Camera-Android-Version/dp/B076H3SRXG/

Hi everyone,

I do hope to ask this clearly.
what I desire is a method of confirming if someone enters or approaches my
flat without my knowledge.
Ideally there would be a small camera, even a phone just for this role
might work,  with at the absolute best a notification sent via  voice or
e-mail that the feature is active..I hope this makes sense.  Perhaps  it
activates when someone opens my downstairs door, letting me know?  Perhaps
an alarm, perhaps not.
I might also dedicate a laptop to this role, but the most important thing
is that I am notified,  the setup calls my own phone number land line for
example, or sends me an e-mail.  I have no way to get a text message,
unless this  message is spoken.
If I am  not being clear let me know.
Range need not be profoundly large either.
Ideas?
Kare
