Any recommendations?
Almost everything now is Wi-Fi/smart technology which has its advantages
but what if I want to put one in my garage or van or a job site where’s
there’s no power and no Wi-Fi? Or what if the power goes down and I
lose internet? I see some cellular options but then you’re paying more
for the camera plus you need a subscription. It seems like there has to
be some kind of basic battery powered camera out there-I guess the
downside is that someone could just take the camera but still..:.
Otherwise I could just try a trail camera.

I think you need to define your target a bit better. Probably the closest you're going to get to to a one-fits-all solution is cellular--but even with that, not every location has coverage.
If you don't need real-time, a trail cam might actually be the most versatile.

I faced a similar dilemma when I wanted to monitor my garage and my van. I ended up using a battery-powered camera, and while I was nervous about it being stolen, it worked like a charm. Another option I found really handy is a doorbell video camera, which gives me peace of mind without needing to worry about power outages. You can check it out here: https://www.vivint.com/products/doorbell-camera. I’ve been using one from Vivint, and it captures great footage even during the night!
