Outdoor video camera?

Question

I woke up this morning and my fence was wide open and there was unknown foot prints in the sand by the gate leading in to my yard. So I am thinking of putting up some video cameras. I would like one for the front door one for the gate and one for the back door. I would need something that captures video or pictures because it would mostly be used at night. Any suggestions?

My mom had a similar problem.  As long as there is some light out the cameras she got work great.  She found hers at Sam's Club

Answer 2

Set a budget.

I use these cameras:

Feeding video to a DVR like this:

You will also want a monitor next to the DVR... a 15" flat-panel TV is fine. I also send the video signal from the DVR to the other TVs in the house and use the extra AV-in jacks - so I can watch TV or the video surveillance just by selecting the appropriate AV input.
