HelpPlease

Hi, I posted recently as I had a 'storage options' cctv system set up at home covering my car (which was hit). The system we had has had its day now and so I'm looking to replace it. Ideally I'd like wireless capabilities (tho not absolutely essential). Nightvision is a MUST. It will also need to be for external use. I would like for it to automatically record onto my laptop. Also I live in a town house, in order to get the best view of my car, I'd like to place the camera on the top floor level of my house (where the current camera is placed, screwed into the exterior ledge of my window). Does such a product exist? Would a budget up to £150 be realistic? Are there any brands to avoid?

Hi there, I'm going crazy and really need some help! I have a 'storage options' cctv 4 camera system (bought from Maplin) set up in my house covering my car outside. Once again I left my car parked and yet another neighbour has hit it! Only I am unable to access any menu on my CCTV system any more I desperately need this footage to pass on to the police and insurance company! In the past I have just clicked on the screen and an option for main menu has appeared and then I have been able to view the footage. This time I can view 'real time' but there is no cursor and seemingly no way of accessing the menu in order to view footage. The red 'power' light is illuminated as is a yellow 'HDD' light. In desperation I have connected the box to my laptop via a data cable in the hope that it shows as an external hard drive but it doesn't show. Please is there something I can do to recover the footage?????? (I know which neighbour hit my car, they also have damage to their car consistent with the damage caused to my car. But on approaching them and even informing them of the CCTV in use they have still denied doing it).
