Keeping on eye my Boxster

Something hi-res, low-lux with a good IR array. I would go wired if possible. A good camera costs money, especially something worth having for night time surveillance. You'll want a decent DVR to go with it.

The cameras I've seen have had terrible range and resolution at night.

I haven't bought any camera equipment from them (mainly A/V adapters and cables) but checkout www.parts-express.com they have great prices on all that sort of DIY audio/video gear.

I bought one of those wifi ir night vision cams for $50

It has motion sensing through the lens and has a web page you can access with your phone, plus it can be controlled, aimed with your phone as well.

it can be set up to email you photos when it senses movement.

it also has a mcrophone and speaker so you can yell at kids via your phone and hear them back talk.

The only thing its missing is the zoom feature which you have to pay a bit more for.
The video resolution is not fantastic and it needs a dvr if you want constant recording, but for the price its a nice deternt and actually useful.
