CCTV system suitable for domestic premises?

I am looking for a cost-effective CCTV system to protect my family home. I want one colour internal camera which can view through double glazing to a lit porch driveway area and be linked to a VCR. It must provide images which are of sufficient quality for th epolice to ID suspects, and be triggered by movement.

    I used to have a CCTV / VCR system but the continuous switching on and off of the VCR wrecked it. I now use a spare computer with a half decent web cam and a programme named "Dorgem" . It works in the same way, saving any movement.

    There is no legal obligation to even make tapes in the first place but if the CCTV is a condition of an insurance policy there may be a minimum requirement stipulated in the agreement.

    Depending on what country you live in, you should be able to pick up a reasonably priced unit for the purpose you require, from B&Q outlets. Check online too.

    Please remember that it is illegal to have the camera pointing at somone else's house or property without their consent.

    Depends what your budget is. But we got ours from Maplin, though black and white, you can just about make out what's what. http://www.maplin.co.uk/family.aspx?menu=1632&doy=...

    Argos have what your looking for too. http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/S...
