Im looking to buy a cctv camera to watch over my driveway at home, the cam will have to be an external one, I need your help and experience to choose which will provide the best picture quality and motion detection. The camera will be placed in the back centre of the driveway, which is 10mtr X 10mtr. I would prefer to have a wireless connection unless the drawbacks weigh heavily against it. The option I am struggling most with is whether to have night vision or black & white/colour with a security light, or both but then im guessing a security light would work against the night vision. thanks for your help.

A few more questions for ya; Does anyone own or have experience with solar powered cctv? What picture resolution should I be looking for? ,bearing in mind if some thievery does take place I will be trying to identify the scum, is 625 x 582 any good for cctv? Can anyone recommend a good security light to accompany the camera? cheers

Thanks for the reply, it helps a lot. We need the camera because of attempted thefts on our cars over the years. The camera would be placed high up (well out of reach of anyone without a ladder). We would prefer colour cctv, and a security light would be a good detterent, (or provide the thieves with enough light to make their job easier ). The main point is having good motion detection so the light won't come on unnecessarily or turn off just as the thieves reveal their faces! I should add we are looking to spend around £150.
