I want to get a camera to watch over my driveway. It is so hard to buy cameras nowadays. There is so much variation in price, and you don't always get what you pay for. And many reseller sites don't include actual images or streams from the actual camera for review and comparison. What I want to avoid is buying a camera that just doesn't have decent images. So many times I watch the evening news and someone had video of some crime in progress and you can't make out a single detail in the image. I don't want to be that guy. So, just what does it take to get a decent video at night? Any chance it can be done for less than, oh, $250? Any recommendations? I don't care if it is an IP cam or regular. Most DVRs that I see have web servers built into them so I can still watch the video online. I think overall I would like to get a camera and dvr for less than $500. I have seen many systems (some including multiple cameras, but for now I just want one) for less than $500, but I really suspect the quality of the images may not be all that great.
