How can I find a cheap battery powered surveillance camera to catch taggers spraypainting a fence?

My elderly neighbor just put up a new fence a few months ago and now it is spraypainted. I know that once she cleans it, it will probably only be spraypainted again. I feel bad because I think she is a widow on a fixed income. I want to help her plus I want to keep taggers out of my neighborhood. I’m thinking a small surveillance cam would do the trick. Any advice? thanks!!!
Unfortunately, it’s going to be relatively difficult to find a "cheap" battery powered solution that is infrared and records/stores video.
One solution would be something like this: http://bit.ly/5J1MgK
It is a motion detector camera that records onto an SD card or can be connected to a DVR. That would probably be your best bet for self-contained video & storage.
You could then grab a cost-effective 4 channel DVR with room for a couple of extra cameras and set that up (example: http://bit.ly/6psuIm). Alternatively, you could purchase a DVR card to put in one of your computers, also available on the site.
Anyway, hope that helps.
why not put a motion sensor light on it? so if someone walks infront of it it will go on

You might also consider a more serious system with a couple of cameras and a small DVR. Since you’re dealing with vandals, you might look at some of these infrared cameras: http://bit.ly/8U5kLD. They are vandal resistant also, and get decent reviews for their price. There are many more infrared cameras you can look through on the site, as well.

The only reason I suggest that is, depending on your neighborhood, etc… I don’t want you to suffer from any retaliation from the vandals if you end up sending a couple of them to jail. I’d rather you be covered in the future as well, just in case something happened.
Anyway, hope that helps.
