Please suggest home intrusion detection systems

I am in the market for home intrusion detection systems that will alert us if our house is broken into. I would like to cover at least the following scenarios:
1. If we are at home and doors are opened, some sort of audio indication. If we are away from home, we should get mobile notifications.
2. If doors are opened after we go to sleep, loud alerts/sirens.
3. Nice to have: person detection through camera, motion detection through camera or sensors

I do not wish to go the DIY route (such as HomeAssistant) since I want something that can be used easily by my parents.

What are some options available in the market?

I kind off like the TPLink Tapo H500 hub (not yet available in India) or H200 hub and their door sensors. If anyone has experience with them, please share that as well.
 
I am using TP-Link's H100 hub and T110 Sensors. You get instant notification of opening/closing of doors on phone. Everything mentioned by you except #3 is available in the package and it works as intended and is easy to
use as well.

How is the battery life on the sensors? Does the hub/mobile app show sensor battery levels?

Have the sensors become disconnected any time one their own? Also, does the app show alerts if sensors become unavailable?

Well, my requirement involves receiving mobile notifications as well as different alert levels based on various scenarios (such as time of day, presence in house), very low maintenance and ease of use. Unfortunately, dog fails in all those categories lol. Besides, they can be bribed with food.
 
Your hikvision NVR should have this capability, if not, try getting that model. Ask the seller about such feature.

It would be nice to integrate this task in the camera system which is already in place, and you have the app on the phone.

MI Xiaomi Wireless Home Security Camera 2i also has person detection and motion detection.
(does not tell you which person, just that a human was detected).
Opening of door automatically registers as a movement, and therefore triggers notifications (not audio alarm though).

There is no info on battery levels in the app but I am using it for the last 9 months and still the stock battery is going fine.
Sensors never disconnected so far in my case.
