Default Trail Cam or other outdoor camera solution

I need some help please, I am looking for an affordable camera that can be either monitored on the phone or sends pics to my phone when there is movement. I want to monitor part of our horse pasture when we are away. Any recommendations? Daytime only, so no night vision necessary.

Actually, we could also mount it inside the garage if a camera works through a window.

Thanks. It comes with a siren though? I don't think I want that!

Lorex is having a spring sale, if you have power you can install a couple cameras for about the same price with 24 hour surveillance, cameras can be set to trigger movement in certain zones of the image the "hits" show up in yellow marks on the cameras log.

Thanks everybody. Turns out motion sensors aren't reaching as far as I need it. Now I need a camera that monitors continuously or scheduled... Any ideas?
