Look for something called a spotlight dvr looks like a security light, it will take a 10 second avi video triggered by motion up to 60 feet away, and at night will turn on the spot light also. Stores the video on an onboard sd card. The video will just over write the oldest clip when full so you can set it and forget until you have an issue. then just pull the sd card. will not satisfy your bedtime viewing pleasure, this is not analog cctv so you will be able to work with the video.
