Recommend me an internal CCTV camera
Discussion
After a car key burglary last week which resulted in one of my neighbours losing his Golf R, I'm keen to ramp up security a little bit. I'm after a decent quality internal camera which can be placed on top of our hallway cupboards looking out onto the drive through a tiny window. It would be the perfect spot to put something discreet and there is a plug socket right next to it too. I've looked at a few but I have no idea really what is a good or bad quality camera; I know I want something that records with a decent frame rate (again what's good, I don't know?) and can take an SD card. I don't want a great big hard drive or anything like that. Has anyone got something similar that would suit my needs?

What are you trying to achieve? Does it matter if the car goes again whether you get good enough pics for a conviction?
Surely you want to prioritise deterrent target then camera quality. Make it look like Fort Knox and you won't need good pictures as your car will still be on the drive.
I'm in the camp where I believe you're better off having "surprise" security than making the house look like Fort Knox. Hence a lot of protection/deterrents inside the garage to safeguard the motorcycles we have. My opinion is that if it looks too secure, thieves will be intrigued as to what I'm trying to protect.

A big f off camera on the outside just means when a house is cased out they know to go masked up. If they think there is no cameras then there is a chance they may not bother and hopefully reveal themselves accidentally.
