614454 2007-11-24 07:49:00 Infra Red cameras, waterproof if outside and a DVR card. Be careful of the requirements of the DVR card. Most recommend/require Intel chipsets. Before buying cameras ask for a demo, there is a reason the price of cameras range so much, cheap normally is poorer picture.

Or look at IP cameras, still more expensive but the software can run on any type of chipset. I'm testing Infra Red waterproof IP cameras at the moment and they look good.
