Putting up a simple security camera, $4,000 budget

[alexstreff]

Okay so I'm a student at a state college in Minnesota. Recently people have been breaking into the pool at night. I am good friends with the athletic trainer who runs the pool and she wants me to put in a simple, easy to run security camera. I was wondering if anyone had some advice on an easy to use program for a camera connected to a computer. I did a search for a free program and found one called "dorgem" (www.dorgem.sourceforge.net). That is fairly simple and easy but i have about a $4,000 budget so I'm trying to find something that maybe runs multiple cameras or has some other crazy features i don't know about. I'm also looking at cameras and any advice would be appreciated.

Newegg has a category for that stuff if you want to browse it for some ideas: http://www.newegg.com/Store/Ca...=Security-Surveillance

Costco has a number of surveillance options as well.

It seems Dorgem is no longer available. Does anyone know of a good software program for monitoring using a camera? I am looking for something that streams on the internet but also saves the video on a hard drive. I will be using only one camera but I am in search of a good software. If anyone can shed some light on this that would be great. Thanks

I was searching and found this. http://www.crime-catcher.com It looks pretty good to me but i have not tried it yet. It you decide to try it though you should let me know how it goes for you.
