I read your other post. Wifi cams would have missed a ton of the action there. The Amcrest cams I use have a Tripwire feature where you can draw a line (or two) in the field of view and have an alert sent to you if anything crosses that line in one direction or both. You can filter it down to Humans and Vehicles as well. I have a Tripwire line across the end of my driveway and I get pinged on my phone and Apple Watch if anything crosses that line. I even get a snapshot of whatever it is right on my watch. Of course getting those features depends on having an Apple ecosystem. But even with just Surveillance Station, I can get a text and/or email when that line is crossed. If you have a decent view down the length of your driveway, you could draw a Tripwire at the furthest point.
