…preferably something not really expensive but decent, and with motion detector (and night vision)?

    Hello,

    A good camera system is available but you need to decide what areas you want to cover. Did you just want to watch outside or inside too? Just the doors or the driveway and the backyard. Camera systems can be a waste of money if you don’t have them on and recording.
    You need to do a site survey as well , go ahead and walk around the outside of the house, where would you try to get in? Are there woods behind the house?

    A good thief has no problem driving up your driveway and walking right in the house so your neighbors would not think anything of it. Placing the cameras to cover all the ways a person could walk up to the house is the most important thing, its better to spend a few dollars more today with extra cameras rather than pay the deductible on your insurance

    An inexpensive system like this complete camera system http://www.spyville.com/svat-cv300-4ch-001.html will have all the features you want, like night vision and motion activation. This system will do that and record for months at a time and allow you to view the video remotely on the internet. in some cases you can even view on your Iphone or Smart phone like blackberry and droid.

    The best one is one you can afford and gets the job done. There is a huge range of prices out there for these systems. Motion detection is usually built into the security system and not the camera. Night vision is built into the camera. Most systems from Costco or Sams club have not so good cameras. Camera night vision can be a bit misleading too:

    Remember that a bigger camera lens will help with the night vision. I think though like I said earlier that if you find some system that seems affordable to you, then pull the trigger and get it. Get the whole system together too. I think that’s easier than piecemeal.

    Good luck,

    Everything on http://www.spytown.com/ is pretty reasonable. They’ve got all sorts of systems, so you’re bound to find something that works for you. I know many of them have night vision and motion detecting capabilities.

    I hope this helps!
