video surveillance suggestions

I returned home Sat AM to find some low life had tried to break into my garage while I was gone working. They managed to destroy the bottom lock but could not bust the dead bolt (glad I reinforced the door frame when I did the garage addition.... Does anybody have any experience / suggestions on a system? I want to buy a complete package, not piece something together. I have checked Frys and Amazon, looks like $300 to $400 will get me what I am looking for. One of the main things I want are cameras that actually show some detail, I dont want blury, grainy images. Thanks.

Even better: a motion-triggered taser gun trained on each door...

The detective investigating my recent theft recommended this...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...sporting-goods

He told me that he has solved more crimes with homeowners who have used stealth cams than all of the other high end$$$ surveillance equipment out there. Good luck.

I worked at Fry's for 3 years and actually worked the camera isle for a while. If you want good quality you will have to pay more than $400 for a dvr and cameras. Swann is probably the best. If you have a wifi connection at your home a good outdoor wifi camera might be a good deal. That way you just use your computer as a dvr and don't have to worry about the extra cost.
