I need the following an infrared, outdoor(weatherproof) night-vision,2-5 mega-pixel, 20-40 time zoom camera. However, there are wireless cameras, ip net-cams and cctv. Which one gives the best definition for seeing license plates and faces at night, records the most amount and at FANTASTIC quality right away? I am willing to spend around 400-600 dollars per camera.

recording quality H.246, VP8, Webm, What am I looking for? I want quality and no cost to programs to download to get the picture on my computer.

there are also numbers in front of the camera ie (950, 2400, etc) what does that number mean?

I just need a clear, great quality, outdoor, wireless prefered (doesn't have to be), cameras that works well at night, sees far, gets great picture and recordes lots. I need a system of about 4-6 cameras but I am willing to buy camera's seperate if I need better quality than most would want. I need to catch some bad guys.

Does anyone have any suggestions what cameras I should get?

I could try to write a more detailed answer, but you'd have to explain it all over again to them anyway.

Good luck

I have renters some of which may be theives. I also live in this house and own it. Is it legal for me to put invisible unknown security cameras in common areas (not bathrooms or bedrooms) with the risk that it may pick up a conversation that I was not personally privy to?

Yes, in your own home. not in the part you rent to them.

In my state, it's illegal to video or audio record people without their knowledge. Check laws on your state website.

It is illegal to electronically monitor renters without their permission. One way around this is to include in your lease that the property may be photographed for advertising or monitored for security purposes.

I want to run two cameras that run on the same program but will record motion without having to set a specific camera to record. Plus will work with a pc.

More than 50 private security cameras are now in the five Points district, and proponents of the cameras say they’re preventing crime and helping authorities solve cases.

The private security cameras, first installed in 2005 and now all over the hospitality district, were brought to the forefront this week after Bruce Miller’s car was broken into and vandalized outside his business, Groucho’s Deli, early Tuesday morning.

An unidentified subject, shown clearly in the cameras, walked away from the cameras after vandalizing Miller’s car, heading toward the Edible Arrangements van parked nearby in five Points. the cameras didn’t follow him to the van, but owners reported it damaged the next morning as well. the subject then returned to the car and did more damage.

After Miller reported the crime to five Points Executive Director Merritt McHaffie, she consulted with Statewide Security Systems, which donated a round of cameras to the five Points Association and is now paid for monthly monitoring services. the association also paid $10,000 for a second round of cameras.

Within a few minutes of checking footage, McHaffie and an employee from Statewide Security Systems were able to glean a clear look at the subject. Columbia Police now have the footage and are investigating the case.

“I applaud the teamwork between the business community and the Columbia Police Department and am encouraged by businesses throughout the city of Columbia for taking the initiative to better protect their properties by the use of crime prevention tools,” Columbia Police Chief Randy Scott said in a statement.

McHaffie said she hopes the cameras continue to develop attention in five Points.

“They catch shoplifters all the time, and they’re helping police get criminals off the street,” McHaffie said. “We hope the cameras start becoming proactive, where criminals know if you come to five Points and commit a crime, you’re going to get caught.”

Cameras and security call boxes line USC’s campus as well, said Capt. Eric Grabski with USC’s Division of Law Enforcement and Safety.

“The cameras are part of the overall safety plan at USC and can also help us in identifying suspicious persons and persons committing crime,” Grabski said.
