Question:
I am looking for the best motion activated camera that can be set up inside a window looking outside at 2 parked cars. I am looking into this for my sister who lives in a townhouse that has had people vandalizing their cars. Thank you for your help.
Answer:
Night time video is challenging since infra red light does not penetrate glass very well. For night time surveillance you are best off with a camera that is outside with no glass separating it from the subject.
If you have a porch or garage light fixture a good low cost solution for this is:
LED Bulb Spy Camera - Night Vision
$239.95
Motion detecting recording with night vision, saves video to micro SD card - up to a full week of video storage View Details
A good solution for cars on the go is this one (no night vision however):
Dual Video Dashboard Camera HD With GPS Logging
HD 1080P Color Video Camera - integrated GPS logging synchronized with video playback, shock detecting event recorder, automatic power off
Price: $289.95 View Details
Watch the video to see how it would work.
