The home security forum is the best place to ask about cameras.
My personal opinion is that all the pre-packaged systems are crap. http://www.ar15.com/forums/f_6/46_.html |

This thread in the Survival Forum is the one you want.
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_10_17/624112_CCTV_cameras_101_____Table_of_Contents_in_OP____Updated_9_Oct.html Meanwhile, I haven't seen individual cameras that were worth a damn for less than $300 a pop(especially for network cameras), and then you still need a DVR box or a computer server to run them. Also, make sure the cameras and server are all on UPS's. I think my camera got fried by a recent power burp - need to pull it down and do some testing, but I'm not hopeful.  |

Hikvision. I have these on my house: http://www.amazon.com/Hikvision-Megapixel-2-8-12mm-bullet-DS-2CD2632F-I/dp/B00GFFPFEU/ This is scaled down but the full-size recordings are good enough to read license plates at the top of the driveway.

Please define what is "crap." How fine a picture quality do you need? Are you monitoring a driveway for vehicles, or do you need more detail for people and animals? Also consider that cameras with IR LED's might give you 15-25 feet of viewing area.
