web cam as CCTV?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.webcam (More info?)

Recently my car has been vandalised when parked on the street outside my
house. I know who did it, but have no proof - same old story. What I need is
a web cam that can see in low light up to 20m and is motion sensitive, so
that if the car is approached recording can begin. Ideally, the web cam
should be able to transmit the images wirelessly to my PC (at the other side
of the house) although a cable would be a possibility if needs be. I've been
searching the web for a solution but either nothing seems to fit the bill or
teh product information on possible webcams is too scanty to make a
judgement. Any advice gratefully received.

You might investigate....
Dlink has a 1-Lux indoor ccd wifi network mpg camera. You'd need to maybe
make it weatherproof ? and change the lens to stronger, probably would want
about 5-50mm manual varifocal lens. If your car has 2-Lux worth of
light - it should in general match what you've asked for.
