I use a program called Blue Iris. The lite version supports 1 Camera for $29.95 and the Full version support 25 Cameras for $49.95. It captures onto your computer and you can set it to ONLY record when there is motion. You can even set areas that are in the camera that you don’t want to count as motion (Like a FAN, or Window that would show things moving outside). This makes it a lot easier to see what happend that you are interested in and also reduces the amount of space that is used on the Hard Drive. It can also Email, Page, or contact you via other means when an EVENT happens. Great software for a very low price. http://www.blueirissoftware.com/
here is large variety of video surveillance. check it out i f u foundthe best u can thanks me. ;) u can compare prices there r some very cheaps also.
It will depend on what you get.
You can get some from Radio Shack,Sam’s Club,Wal-Mart,Best Buy.
You can get a system that includes a monitor and recorder or you can get a system that records to your computer hard drive,digital recorder or VCR.
Some allow for time lapse recording.
You can connect motion sensors to some cameras and will record only when something or someone trips the motion sensor.
It won’t make much difference in the electricity used,but it will not waste recording time.
A system will be a litte more expensive if you opt for cameras with night vision-this allows surveillance in light or dark environments.
