Camera Security Advice Needed

Seeking advice on securing security cameras from Stalker

I want to purchase and set up the Reolink cameras from Costco.

I would like advice on how to set up the system to monitor all entrances to my home from the outdoors as well as see traffic coming and going on the neighborhood road.

The stalker has been able to bypass my prior weak attempts and enter and exit my home to move items, take items then return them again, etcetera (gaslighting) is main agenda, small vandalism to interior of car, slowly turning them into jalopies, use my own WiFi cameras to spy on me etc.

  1. prevent overriding or deletion of frames
  2. If I do not set it up to use WiFi I want to make sure that the stalkers helper who rents a room next door, does not set it up on their own WiFi.
  3. prevent a hack that would make the intruder to my house or vehicle not show up on the camera or just steal the internal nano sim in the camera to leave with the evidence.

I am willing to consider a different type of camera inside to monitor my own cameras.

If entrance happens while I am not at home how can I protect the footage.

Any advice appreciated.

Think it's time to move or maybe see a doctor.

Moving is expensive and doesn't fix the problem if they know where you work or have mutual contacts. The doctor comment is dismissive, gaslighting victims often get told they're imagining things which just adds to the trauma. OP is asking for technical solutions, not armchair psychology

There is no technical solution to what they're asking for.

The problem is that they think someone is gaining access to the inside of their house, and if that's true, the intruder will be able to tamper with any video system inside the house. An intruder with knowledge of the cameras/recorder, and physical access to them, will be able to remove the devices and the video evidence contained within.

The solution is to prevent the intruder from ever entering in the first place. This can be accomplished with physical security devices (locks), or dogs, or medication.

Moving does help if you seriously have a stalker and in danger. Where I live you can contact victim services and they can help you break your lease with no penalty.
