Home security Cameras

So, There's been deers eating up the front garden, "I think"

I just got a couple questions for people that have surveillance setup in their homes.

How much data is outputted by one of these cameras for 24/7 month, can it be set to constant bitstream or variable?

Do they make motion tracking camera that follows the object in motion? <-and does this type of system cost an arm and a leg?

What kind of resolution is considered good?

i have one pointed at my door to record when on motion(after someone knocked on my door at 5am), never captures anything even if i go outside and jump up and down. could be just my brand though, lol.

ill play around with it and ill let u know. One thing thats annoying is that spider webs shine brightly when they build a web over my camera, lol.
Gah.. why didn't you return it? Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Secret the plural of deer...is ...deer. Wink
Actually, you can use either. The commonly accepted plural form is "deer", but it's not necessarily incorrect to say "deers". The same applies to "fishes", which I use on occasion myself.

What are you afraid that the deer are gonna do? And how do you expect cameras to stop them?

Well, we're only suspecting that deer may have chewed up our plants, but it might be malevolent neighbors that unbeknownst to us exacted unwarranted vindication in the form of vandalism.

If you really think it's your neighbors, then get the cameras. If you really think it's deer, then the cameras aren't gonna do shit to help you.
