I would like to install a security camera at my home. One of the reasons is my house is shaped like a big L with the garage in front and the two window that actually face the street are bedroom windows. The second reason is there has been some break-ins lately in our neighborhood and I would like to deter (big camera pointed down my walk way) or help capture the image of some neighborhood thug breaking in. Having the ability to look out the front yard, street, and approaching walk way would really be great so high res would be nice. I have found this camera:

I thought it looked pretty cool from the amateur specs that I can read and the price looked attractive. Does this look like a good camera to be mounted outside my house? If not could you suggest some replacements? The monitor that I would be plugging into would be a 32" HD flat panel if it matters.
As for the capture an image of a thug I was hoping to use a PCI DVR card I have a PC plugged into the 32" flat panel. I am only really interested in putting up 1-3 cameras max so I was hoping this would work. Will a PCI DVR card record enough high res images so I could identify some one? Can anyone suggest one or a few that might work and be reasonably priced ($75)?
Sorry for all the Knob questions but I have found that forms like this usually have the best information.
