Need to set up a security camera. [Sods tried to nick car, smashed up passenger side lock, steering column, ignition system and then, when the immobiliser stopped them 6 feet later, abandoned it in the middle of the road after further malicious damage to the interior]

Does anyone have any advice, recommendations, warnings on choosing, buying and setting up a security camera system....?

Pretty sure our wireless network will cover the area we want to install the camera. Can get mains power to it. Could, at a pinch, cat5 wire it in to the network.

Have read online about systems that can write data to an SD card and/or to a Network Disk drive and/or save data to an internet site so it is safely stored "in the cloud" even if the rest of your hardware gets nicked/damaged.

Currently considering something called a Y-cam Bullet

We have a suitable Network drive but not sure if you can belt&braces save to multiple locations and if not, which would be the best.

Your words of wisdom, please.
