Thanks for the feedback, does anybody have any recommendations? I have checked several like Foscam and the reviews are mixed. I don't need too much as I noted but I do want something that will last a while and won't be a nightmare to configure to view on my PC and smartphone.

I am looking for a very simple camera that will allow me to observe my front door/driveway area. I won't need to point and zoom or do anything fancy. I work in a home office and often miss people at my front door with deliveries and want to be able to see them when they arrive. I would also like to be able to monitor it from my smartphone when not sitting at my PC. I will want to directly connect it to my PC/router which are about 30-40 from where I am thinking about mounting it outside. I can run wire easily. I don't need it to record but it might be helpful in the future. Any suggestions would be helpful.
