I need to catch some dog walkers that leave their poop in the lane right outside our garage.
I don't need much quality-wise. As long as I can make out the approximate size/colour of the dog that's enough. I'll only record during daylight.
It should be weather proof, battery operated, and the batteries/memory should last at least a few hours. Budget is low - the cheaper the better.

I have various bushes/rocks that I can hide it in, but obviously something small and not easily visible would be a bonus.

What should I be looking for?

How about a sign saying 'CCTV cameras in operation'? Might scare them off.

What did you intend to do with photos of the culprits?

none of these are water proof but they are cheap and you dont care what it looks like so im sure you could just gaffer tape it to a tree
