Can anyone recommend a good CCTV supplier?

SWMBO would like an Wireless IP, IR CCTV camera that records to PC for Christmas so that she can watch the night-time wildlife in the field next our house. I am having the devils own job trying to find what looks like something decent, so any recommendations would be most gratefully received!

You'll probably want an IR floodlight or 2 if you want to actually pick up anything further than 5-10m away.
I set up a system at a school I worked at to monitor wildlife and if I was going to do it again I'd spec up some IR floodlights.

The LED's around the edge of them wont be strong enough.

There is a PH'er on here that does it and has good stuff along with excellent advice. If I remember I'll edit this.

All the sexiest children come out at night. laugh

Caught some great fox fights with it though. A bounding spear tackle was probably the best. Right into the pond where we had an underwater camera.
Unfortunately it didn't trigger so we couldn't splice them together to make a great action scene.
