I have two wyze cams outside. They're both in outdoor housings with desiccant packs in them. They're under eves, which does help keep them from getting direct rain. This is the housing I have them in. They've worked flawlessly so far.
As for SD cards, I have a 64gb micro SD in each camera. Continuous recording has come in handy in the past few days as one of my cameras caught a car accident and officers were able to determine who was likely at fault.
Outdoor cam is in testing phase. Wyze says it's still on track for release before the end of the year. Be aware that the outdoor cam will certainly cost more. Wyze employees have said it will have battery/usb power options, PIR motion detection and have a wireless indoor hub. For direct information anyone can search for wyze employee posts on their outdoor cam roadmap thread.
You might want to just get a outdoor case for your cam. I have this one out in direct sun, rain, snow, no problems. Most protective case I've found after searching all over. If you can place your cam right under an overhang, I've seen many people say they do perfectly fine with no case.
It looks like there are many that work, but this one is what we have.
I also put mine with silicon into this:

Nice. I just got mine about a month ago and I found this decent case on Amazon. I figured it was unnecessary after I had purchased it because I too mounted my cam under an overhang. We'll see how it lasts through the winter and if it was a Wyze investment.
Here's the link if you're interested.

Honestly? I combine a Wyze Cam with an outdoor mount in the soffit above the door (much better angle than a doorbell provides) and an Aeotec Z-wave doorbell.
The total investment is $107 with zero subscription fees.
Not OP, but I have a Wyze V2 on my porch in this housing. It’s mounted up under a soffit, so it’s pretty protected from any rain/snow, as long as the wind isn’t blowing straight up, and can’t even be seen until you’re actually on the porch.
My original plan was to wire an outlet into a junction box, in the attic, to plug the camera in, using the provided usb cable. But, if I ever needed to unplug it, I would’ve had to climb up in the attic to do so. So, I ended up using one of
these cables, and dropping it down to an outlet in my garage, where I could unplug it, if I ever needed to. Granted, there’s only about 6” of the cable actually exposed, as it comes out of the back of the housing (I dremel’d a new hole out of the back, and covered the original hole on the bottom) and up into the soffit, and it’s pretty much protected from the sun/whatnot. But it’s held up well, at least through the hottest months and so far into the coldest months.
Real Time Stream Protocol (RTSP) is a standardized protocol for streaming audio/video from cameras (among other things).
Basically it makes it so that I can connect several different brands of (RTSP) cameras to one central server that records them all and sends notifications to my phone when it detects movements.
My favorite at the moment is the Wyze cameras. They just recently added RTSP support and are only $26 each:

Get a weatherproof mount if you are wanting to mount them outside:

The wifi has me somewhat concerned. But you can try out a pretty cheap option. Wyze are ok cameras and have motion detection and night vision, they are like $25.

To make it outdoor safe you need a hood for around $12.

Next question is do you have an external power outlet to power the camera? This setup would work and do the basics for around $50. There are plenty of full systems out there but it sounds like it might be over kill. If you run into anything problems feel free to ping me.

Taped up the seam and a little silicone to further seal the lense area and they've been good to go
