Thanks for all your input. It really has given me food for thought. So much so that Ive realised I've gotten way ahead of myself by listing too many wants all at once! Maybe it's better for me to use the process of elimination. So I'm thinking that the first thing I should address is night time: What would be the minimum spec for a camera that will enable me to see my scooter about 15m away with a little help from street lighting? Does the camera have to be an outside one or is there an indoor one that will do the job? Finally, does motion detection work at night and if so is there a minimum spec for this too? Thanks again and hope you can help.

Hi everyone, I've just joined this forum because I want to buy a camera to keep an eye on my scooter during night & day which can be parked on the street or in the front garden. The locations are close enough to each other to be in the same view. My window is situated on the 2nd floor of the building so I'm guessing the distance will be around 10m-15m. I am currently using a webcam that's suckered to the window and free software called YAWCAM. This is sufficient during the day until it becomes very sunny or night time where I can't really see anything and movement detection doesn't work. I would like a camera that's preferably an indoor one but if an outdoor one is needed then so be it. I would also like: * it to be independent from my PC now. * to be able to use movement detection and preferably designate 2 areas in the frame. * it to record the movement to a memory card or the internet. * connect a small flat monitor to it so I can have it next to my bed! * to access the picture via the internet. Is this all possible or am I expecting too much! Please advise me on any products or ideas. I've looked through this forum and must say that although it's very interesting, it can be very overwhelming with all the stuff that's available but if there's a beginner's guide could you please point me to it. Thanks very much and hope you can help, I really appreciate it.
