Best indoor camera system to check on parent?

My dad had his second hip replacement and was sent from the hospital to a care home. He wants to come home now and SS will put 4 care visits a day in place. He has capacity so can make the decision.
Of course, this relies on me supporting him for the other 22 hours a day with finances, shopping, checking on scams he's been called about, responding to the emergency pendant etc. It's been assumed I will do this - no-one has asked.
I've told him I want a camera system indoors so I can check if he has pressed the pendant by accident (he does this frequently) and not have to go over there every time. It's about 2 miles so not far but it's a faff at 3am or if I am not at home.
Anyone use a camera system for this and which one do you use?

Netvue looks good thanks @pokebowl I use Eufy myself, at home, but they are outdoor cameras and quite expensive. I resent the monthly charges with Ring.
Yeah the good thing about Netvue is for live camera you don't need to subscribe. That's only for recording (I think it gave me an initial 3 month free trial with recording but I let that lapse).
