X10 Sentinel MTV-54G2HN

For the price of the X10 Sentinel MTV-54G2HN security camera, you simply won't find anything better! I was especially impressed with the 22 x optical zoom, and a mode they call the "Starlight Mode". In that mode I can watch my backyard in the pitch black of the night! I bought a package that includes motion sensors, so that I only record on motion. In addition, I can control my home when I am at work due to some software that allows me to access the camera from anywhere!

I think it is great value, and for much less than a Sony or Sanyo, which is where I first looked.
