Something below 0.01 lux that will pick up nighttime activity in my yard without the limitation of IR illumination. A "star light" camera would be ideal but beyond my limit of $250. Anyone tried and approved a good one?

Answer
I would go with Zmodo 8CH camera since your budget is $250. It is for low light.

It comes with 1 tb harddrive and the video format is H.264 Compression so it has very long recording time. Very good reviews.

what is a decent wireless ip camera?

I want to get a security camera, just one for now to watch the driveway of my house. I checked Amazon and eBay, there are so many camera I can't tell which is right for me. 420, 525, 36mm, etc I can't tell which one is important.

My problem: for the past few months deliveries from UPS were reported as having delivered (even those required signatures were just left unsigned) and when I checked, the packages are nowhere to be found. I am tired of filing complaint and waiting for replacement. I have no way of knowing if I have a dishonest delivery truck or if someone has been coming in and stealing after UPS leaves. Nothing like a stolen $1,000 camera lens that were supposed to be signed for (but never signed) to make someone at UPS HQ hopping mad.

I would like a camera that is able to use wireless network with WPK2 encryption or a plain wired ('d have to run a cable from router to outside), is outdoor friendly, and can be accessed from computer on network. What I plan is to use software that connects to the camera and record video if there's any movement. But I am open to suggestion as long as I can see the video and it can show what is going on in front of my house.

I do not want one that has overly wide angle, I'd like to see just the drive way from the under eaves of my house, not the whole world. Not too expensive, probably around $50. Two-way audio support is also not needed as I probably won't be at home if a crime occurs at my house. It'd have to be network capable as none of my computer has video capture hardware.
