What's a good outdoor night time security camera?

[dude]

I got this dude that wants to install a security camera at his residence. He has two entrances. One entrance has a motion detector so the light comes on when someone walks by. The other doesn't.

Can someone recommend a good night security camera that works well in the dark?

x10.com

Just make sure to use a SPAM account if you buy something from there, you're almost guaranteed to get SPAM from them daily.

Are they the only people? I don't really want to support their spamming. <sigh>

Any other suggestions? It doesn't matter if it uses a TV or monitor. I just need to see in the dark. It'd be better if it were wireless, but I'm not counting on a good one to be wireless.

Anyone else? It is not going to be connected to a PC.

find a copy of a large magazine called Nuts and Volts

its an electronics magazine. Very large layout, cant miss it. It has TONS of vendors selling every type of security camera you can imagine.

I dont have my copy handy, otherwise i'dd list some of the vendor web pages.

Does anyone have any expierence with these things working in low light?

You're welcome.

I did some simple searches using words like: security camera, x10.com, etc. and found hundreds of helpful posts.

i hated the x10 wireless security cams we bought... the webview (f*cking 1.0 software) was buggy, didnt like Win2k.. it would lock up and you could not start it back up without reinstalling the program. the picture was extremely staticky and fuzzy

i am looking for something better quality, any suggestions.. this is for indoor security at a place of business

Here's what I've found:
1. Here are a few quality CCCs
2. X10 .5 Lux (wired)
3. LED-Driven Surveillance
