For the cameras themselves, if you would be interested in DIY solutions and have some old spare Raspberry Pis around, you can turn them into streaming IP cameras and have some control over what camera specs and lenses you use. I can't tell you how they compare to purpose-built cameras though.
Have seen some camera projects with Pis that look fun, would def like to try some one day.
It sounds like a fun project but I dont know if I'd rely on it for security purposes. Plus with the cost of Pis now you might as well but a full fledged camera.
For sure, that would be something just for fun, not main usage.
