This is something completely new to me, but I'm looking into setting up a security camera / webcam outside my house. Our house is on a corner lot and at the end of last fall a couple cars were vandalized on the street along the side of our house. Then last week I got home from work and our grill was missing from our back yard (which being on a corner lot, gives fairly easy access to our back yard). I thought about installing a camera back in the fall, but winter came and I never got to it.
So again I dont know much about any of this, but hopefully with a quick explanation of what I think I'm looking for I can at least get headed in the right direction. I'd like a small camera that I could mount about 10ft up on the corner of the house and get views of our back yard/patio and of my car parked on the street. Some people at work suggested a couple models of wireless D-Link IP cameras. These wireless cameras seem like good options because they would eliminate the need for running multiple wires. So Id only need to get power to the camera. D-Link also has a smartphone app that would allow me to view the camera remotely and (if Im reading the info correctly) save/send the recordings to and email address.
I figured that Id check here to see if there are any other suggestions or if anyone had opinions about either of these D-Link cameras?? Thanks in advance.

Here's a rough diagram of my yard and the area that I'm trying to view with the camera.
