wow thanks for the quick reply! yeah all those houses in Vancouver look the same, its the poor mans McMansion.
in regard to lighting there is some street lighting so that should be a boost. my main concern is the car because after paying a 300 deductable to get my windshield fixed, 300 dollars for a camera just for the car isnt so bad.
any ideas what I should go with? another cnb? and how about placement?
