If you've got to run a lead to supply power to the camera and
transmitter, why not also have a lead to take video from the camera?

That camera doesn't seem to have any infra-red illumination built in, so
you'll need that too, or a different camera with much better sensitivity
like the Sony EX-HAD ones which will give a picture from just a bit of
star/moon light.

Assuming the dumping is likely to be done at night, you may want more info
about the lux values that the CCTV works at.
Also, is it likely that the camera will give enough resolution to really
identify the culprits?

well its 380 lines at 3 lux and colur. There are 0 lux cameras with
LEDs but they look unsuitanle as I have seen 0 lux without LEDs

With good street lighting, that will just about show you that there is
someone moving about in the garden. The cheapo 380 TVL cameras are really
only useful as door entry monitors.

If you want colour, you should be looking at something around 480 TVL.
However, at night, monochrome at around 570 TVL with a separate IR light
will give the best results. It will cost more, but less than buying a
useless system first, then buying something that will work.

Something like this is what you need:

Forget the IFR crap you'll need one that cost at the very least £300 for it
to give you a decent quality of picture at night time.

Just buy a good camera and install an outside passive light capable of
reaching the borders of your garden,at least this will give a good
definition of the person and at the same time it might deter them from doing
it again.

If you can afford one of these...

You can attach a camera to the viewing eyepiece :0)

If you try the ones at argos you can take them back when they don't
work how you want them to.

If you want it to see in the dark you need one with built-in infrared.

Take note that most of the cameras with IR LEDs work at 840nm which gives
better preformance but has the downside of being visible, if you need IR
illumination for covert surveilance then you need 930nm? LEDs.

Have a look at RF Concepts http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/cameras.htm , they
have plenty of bullet cameras, in particular the 19BSHRX looks like it
would be good at low light levels. I tried to buy one of these a little
while ago but they were out of stock, instead I bought the CC70CHSHRX and
am happy with the results. It is very much a case of you get what you pay
for.

One other thing to note that is cameras with built in IR LEDs seem to
attract spiders like they are going out of fashion. It may well be better to
follow the advice of other posters and install some floodlighting, to deter
and provide better illumination for any camera you do buy.

No you don't.

Is this another subject you know **** all about but felt the need to
have a stab?
