I had a really cheap logitech quickcam express before, and it was passable quality, my current logitech quickcam pro 3000 (discontinued model, now replaced by the 4000 http://www.logitech.co.uk/index.cfm/products/details/GB/EN,C RID=2204,CONTENTID=7313) gave this kind of quality (before the lens cracked )
infra-red or green would be great at night but i dont know if youd get that on a webcam? logitechs come with their own software called ImageStudio ( http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?page=downloads/software&am p;CRID=1794&contentid=5383&countryid=18&language id=1) heres a screenshot of the software so you can see the motion detection bit: with regard to choosing a camera, the quidelines should be resolution (cheap cams are usually 388x255 pixels, the logitech quickcam pro is 640x480) and the quality of the CCD light sensor - a cheaper sensor means more light required on the subject you are filming heres a good site that compares a few: |

thanks for the offer stephen, but the webcam kills two birds with one stone. how good are the logitech webcams ? is there anything to look for that will give a good indication of how good the image is? i've heard of webcam monitoring software(motion detection etc) which can be purchesed but do all webcams come with this software anyway. nightvision or infrared any good?, or will black and white be just as good any info would be appreciated, cheers si |

Yip it is legal as long as you put a small sign on wall at end of house saying
CCTV is being used in this area (or something like being used for crime provention and the protection of properties)
I have checked this with poilce already as we have always got problems and its ok As long as it aint pointing at a school or someones windows
Your best purchase would be from makro You get a good selection of black and white or colour systems with sound for good prices
Hope this helps Edited by pete323 |

a lot of normal webcams have motion detection software in their repertoire, i know logitech ones definately do if youre looking for something a bit more professional, you can get standalone cctv systems that run on removable hard drive caddys, ill get a phone number of a local company that does them if youre interested? |
