best wifi security camera outdoor image
Hi, every now and then my house gets Teepeed ( toilet papered ) or I get egged and I'm sick of cleaning it up. I'm looking for a spy camera that could catch the victim. My yard has a palm tree in the middle and a lamp post on the corner that has a view of my door. I'm looking for one that's under 100$ and one that is wireless and waterproof and small enough so it won't be noticeable also it would be really helpful if it could hook up to my Mac ( computer ). Thanks so much.

you don't need a spy camera, you need a security camera. If you hook the camera at your front door or windows you can use a webcam, it will be much cheaper. However for outdoor you will need a weather proof wifi security camera
if they come by at night your will need a IR or InfraRed camera for night time functioning so you can see the little bastards in the act. it is more expensive but it works well at night

Is there a webcam out there that hooks up without a USB?
Q. The USB plugs are broken on my laptop but i really want a webcam. Is there one out there that hooks up any other way?
Answer
Yes, there are webcams that connect to Ethernet, Serial Interface, Firewire (IEEE 1394), WiFi and USB.
This site has a list of cameras (designed for outdoor/security work) that host a variety of connection types. http://www.swellfinder.com/wind/webcam_en.htm
For more do a quick search for any of the above interface types followed by the word webcam. For instance I found that list of cameras searching for "Serial Interface Webcams" It was the first hit.
Now you say the USB Ports are broken... What happens when you connect something to a USB port? Does it attempt to read? Could be the wire disconnected internally.
Also could be a driver issue, http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com can usually search for drivers for you. Just choose CUSTOM and check the "Hardware" link on the left side when it's done searching. After all, it really would just be easier to have a working USB port for so many reasons... (External Hard-Drive, USB Key, Webcams, Digital Cams, Printers, Mice, Keyboards, Scanners etc.)
