home security cameras...?

J

Hello, we just bought a house and did some yard work and added solar lights in the front yard. We had people steal them 4 different times. We went out and bought cameras and installed them and even put a sign out that says "smile you are on camera" and we bought cables and ran them through the lights. Well the problem is now again tonight someone came and tried to steal them but only snapped a couple off but our camera wasn't recording at the time because it is hooked up to a vcr and you have to manually hit record and the time it happened it wasn't recording. What is the cheapest way to be able to have the camera record 24/7 without having to deal with hitting record and deal with vcr tapes?? This is supposed to be a good area to live in but its turning out to be awful and I am so upset someone would keep doing this, not to mention all the money we are out

Wrong category. This is computer security. Try here http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/index;_ylt=AiT34Imr4_Fy2p8dMVXY3ak85XNG;_ylv=3?sid=396545631

Nightime Security Camera?

CK MODELE

Since I can't stay up all night, there are times in the evening when we can smell very strong cigarette smoke in our home. Mostly near one bedroom window. The aroma is stronger than a cigarette; but, not as strong as a cigar. I am not a smoker and the other night we woke up to the smell of cigarette smoke. So, I don't know if there is a peeping tom in the area or if its someone smoking near our window. In any case, I want to try and catch some video behind what's going on. I am not a smoker, so it's a big deal which has started about a week ago. Can anyone suggest what type of camera to use, is this part of a home security system (such as ADT)? I have a pc and vcr for the playback, it just needs to be hidden in our area so that I can use the nightime lighting in the area to determine if its someone in our community or a person walking by at that time of night puffing away. I am daily rejecting the advances of a guy and wonder if this is him or just coincidence.
Thank You for your response!!

If the Red LEDs will display a red light on the glass, will there be a red light on wherever it is pointed? This only happends while we are asleep, so I want to be as educated as possible to know how to handle this situation as quickly as possible.

Answer
You can get a cheap night vision camera on eBay or Amazon. I just bought one of these and hooked it up to a VCR to test it out and it worked pretty good at a distance of up to 15 feet. You will have a problem, though, if you try to put it inside looking out a window because the IR LEDs will reflect off of the glass.
