You could use a USB camera with a Raspberry Pi, which is what I do. The camera I use is this one: https://www.webcamerausb.com/1megapixel-day-night-vision-indooroutdoor-cctv-usb-dome-housing-camera-vandalproof-p-157.html or https://www.elpcctv.com/full-hd-1080p-ir-dome-usb-camera-usb20-ov2710-color-sensor-mjpeg-format-and-36mm-lens-p-208.html The cost of the USB camera, a pi 3 and power supply etc. probably adds up to about the cost of your Canada Computers camera. When the light level drops below a certain point, it switches to IR mode, which is quite nice. Regards, Dianne.
