I have a budget of max $300 for a good security camera system to monitor my backyard and front of the house, any suggestions?
Answer
You may have trouble finding a reliable and working camera system for only $300. I might suggest saving up a little more to add to your budget if at all possible. Good wireless cameras are going to run $180-$400+ for each camera. The ones you can buy at Wal-Mart or whatever don't work very well and are more trouble than they're worth.
You should check out either SafeMart or Home Security Store. Home Security Store is more like a "home depot" for alarm system equipment.
Here's a good article on camera systems and a link to a review of SafeMart. Hope this helps.

Security Camera Question?
Patient Pa
I just moved into a new neighborhood and have had some issues with (what I believe to be) one of my neighbors. I have a set schedule every day and my roommates schedule varies (no one is home at all times to watch), but one particular neighbor has been trespassing and verbally harassing my pets.
We've caught him shining lights through our windows (from his property) at night as well as caught him harassing my dog through our front window. I want a camera to record these behaviors so I can go to the cops with confidence that something will be done about it.
I'd like to get a security camera that records to my laptop while I'm at work, and I can review it when I get home. I would like to place it on my second story wall (ample power supply there).
I was looking at this camera: http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Bullet-Outdoor-Security-Infrared/dp/B001IBFSJ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312832168&sr=8-1
But I have absolutely no clue what it records to or anything like that. Any camera suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Also, if there's a camera that can record to a USB device or the like and THEN I can review it on my laptop that would work fine. It needs to record at least 8 hours (while I'm at work.)

That camera isn't bad, but you probably don't need anything that elaborate. My suggestion would be to get a simple, but good quality, webcam and a USB extension cable. Look for a camera that has decent resolution, and is fairly small thus making it easy to conceal. You can easily record a webcam session for review when you get home.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT RECORD AUDIO! You'll noticed that whenever you see video surveillance images on the news and other shows that there is never any sound. The reason for this is because unattended recording of audio can be considered to fall under the illegal wiretapping provisions of federal (and in many cases state) law. It's stupid, I know, but there it is. You don't want to end up getting in trouble yourself while trying to protect yourself and your four-legged friends.
Good luck!
