Hey guys

We have a situation where a tenant is dumping garbage and creating trouble for us.

What's the best type of video camera surveillance of teh outside of a buildling, that we can get?

Any suggestions for Tigerdirect vs Costco vs other?

Not sure if there are ones where you can monitor over hte internet...

This is probably something you can get, it does everything you need. There is a cheaper one for 600 but it's all wired.

Both of these were on sale not too long ago for $200 off, don't know if they will bring it back again.

This is on sale now for $150 off... thanks for the tip.

(Woke up last Saturday to find 2 used tires destined for the dump in the back of my pickup. Some of my neighbors suck.)

I guess it depends if it is something you just need short term... and then how many cameras required.

Something like this (http://www.londondrugs.com/Cultures/en-US/Product+Detail/Cameras.htm?BreadCrumbs=Cameras;Cameras;Security%2 0and%20Monitoring;Security%20and%20monitoring%20ca meras;Swann%202.4GHz%20Wireless%20Colour%20TV%20Ob servation%20System&Catalog=Cameras&Category=Security%20and%20monitoring%20cameras&ProductID=1984566&ProductTab=3) may be more economical and then watch live or just hook up to a VCR and set for 6-8 hrs of record time.

I realize there are no London Drugs stores out East, but must be some equivalent.

Airlink makes a decent IP camera for a really good price. Linksys makes some decent outdoor ones as well. They're rather pricey, but the image on them is fantastic.
