I use a small black and white bullet camera made by KT&C for my outside cams and these for my inside cams at my club. They use the sony exview chip which works great in real low light and they're so small that people don't even see them.
I know I really should be using a color cam for day time outside surveillance but I'm ok with b/w. My main concern is night time and these cams do a very good job at a reasonable price .

I also just ordered this KT&C cam today cause I have one real dark part of my parking lot and figured the Infared along with the sony exview chip should be pretty good.

I should have mentioned a key necessity to this is a complete system. The one I linked includes a PC capture card and software to manage it all. I need something like this setup!

Well I'm using a Geovision DVR card,it was pretty much plug and play and everything worked as advertised. Popped the card into my PC and plugged the cams into the card and now I got everything going onto my hard drive instead of those dam vhs tapes!

The remote view on the card works pretty well to....I see what's going on at my club in the comfort of my home....All 16 cameras.

The Geovisions card can get expensive depending on how many cameras you plan on having and also what type of frame rate your looking for recording.

The cards have loads of features that I havn't had a time to mess with cause I've been so busy. The software overall has been pretty solid,It's on 24/7 and it just works!

You can check out thisweb sitefor some helpful information before you go out and buy your system.
