At our family home we've recently put some money into cctv after the nice
blighters around our area were nicking parts off our car, plus we have the
same situation with a VW van & goods.
Anyway we have got some cheap cameras and a digital video recorder (
http://www.avtech.com.tw/english/product_13_760.htm) for about £200 which
is actually just a pc inside but with the necessary software.
