Costco sells some inexpensive DIY systems.
Can view/setup online, send email snapshot alerts, set up motion sensing recording, night vision capable, etc.
They've worked well for me.

+1 for blue iris but it does take a little tech-knowledge or at least getting used to. Works great on my iphone too.
Another option - I've used these guys and found they have pretty honest sales guys and advice and decent post-sale tech support. They were a source for cameras and parts for me, but I know they recommend all-in solutions too that are likely better than big-box store stuff. I'm not sure how big their outfit is, but I'll PM you my contact there.

Thank you for the Intel. I don't live too far away. I am glad your family and neighbor are alright.
For those that want plug'n'play, look into the "RING" systems. They aren't super cheap but very user friendly, auto records into the cloud for you, can watch from your phone, etc.
BlueIris and Dahua Cameras.
Inexpensive.
Good night vision capabilities.
POE makes it easy.
Wired is better than wireless.
As Brian said, it takes a little more effort than the boxed analog systems that many people buy, but the list of benefits is large.
I 2nd this.
High Def POE cameras are like $100, blue iris software is $60? and a POE Switch $100, Cable $50, Network jacks $10. Older decent pc, you're done.
The computer running my system went down. I just re-installed the software on another system temporarily and bam, I'm up and running again.
