Well.. the security cameras finally caught me...

Interesting thread.

My parents actually just placed a camera in there window to patrol their front yard from vandals. It works off a DVR. Has a AV out I believe, they picked it up at Cosco for 200 I believe. Nice unit, you can set the time of operation, and wether you want still or live capture. It has inferred and motion sensor, all that jazz. I thought it was kind of funny, since my dad was once the type to just stay up later on the weekends to chase kids down, just doesn't want to deal with toilet paper anymore I guess. Works out great for my mothers in home daycare, since my dad programmed it to take snapshots of anyone who walks up to the door during the day.

I would have to agree with shopping at Cosco, they usually will be able to explain everything as well.
