Specifically, I was thinking this might be best for my situation: Uniden UDR444 Guardian 4.3-Inch Video Surveillance System with 2 Cameras (UDR444) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BIY0DFY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2L77EE7U53NWQ

Hi, I'm trying to figure out a low-cost camera option (better than fake with blinking light) for a rental property. The motion light on the detached garage has been stolen multiple times, (near an alley, at head height, no there isn't a better place to put it that's useful) I'd rather stop spending time and money replacing it and I'm sure the thefts are worrying the tenants. The issues are: 1) The detached garage is a good 30 feet from the house, which is the nearest place high enough to make it hard to steal a camera/light. 2) There are tenants who are responsible for internet, so I need something that records in a way that is not dependant on their wireless networks (easier for me, less intrusive for them). Things I have: 1) Power: sockets in the garage and a now bare spot where a motion light was wired (the caps are still on the wiring, so either it was a considerate thief or the light was taken off perfectly), as well as a motion light a story up on the back of the house that has a straight line down the side of the garage to where the light was stolen 2) A tenant-free room in the basement where I could put a DVR/Harddrive to record things that has electricity and could probably have cable run into it. What I was thinking: 1) Set up a camera on the garage that could wireless broadcast a signal to a DVR (I've seen ads setups that broadcast to its own router to record/display on amazon but no idea if they're any good), either with the hardwiring where the light was, or adding it near the light in the garage - this is the thing I was least certain of productwise 2) Replace the light on the back of the house with a camera/light combo that would record the side of the garage and back yard - If I can't do 1), this would need to take good images at 35+ft Any recommendations on good product, or alternative solutions would be really appreciate. Thanks

Wanted to say hi, and ask for advice on some basic cameras to deal with thefts (Motion lights) on a detached garage. This is for tenant security (they recommended though I'd been thinking about it), so I'm looking for something economical, that works at a distance and doesn't need wifi since I don't want to intrude on the tenants' network. Thanks
