There were tests done a few years ago (like 7+ years ago) and the underlying camera hardware were all roughly the same, the difference really is the software, extra functionalities, and packaging, so the video quality was about the same regardless of which brand you got.

Now has that changed since then I'm not sure, but chances are between a $1500 and a $500 camera you are going to get about the same video quality. When I got my cameras 4k was all the rage, I just went with a regular HD.

Obviously don't get a $30 one and I'd say go for a 2 channel one where you can see front and back.
