But I'm working with confined spaces here..
With a wireless transmitter you can place the receiver and VCR up to 150 feet away within the confines of the building. If the camera is near an outer wall, you can have the VCR as far away as 700 feet.
Ultimately, the question goes to how much you are willing to spend. You can expect to spend $400 at a minimum.
My brother's neighbor (a police officer for the adjacent county) was having problems with someone vandalizing his property (mailbox, light fixtures, etc) and he spent about $450 to install a motion sensing video camera, wired to a VCR in his garage. Within two weeks he had video of three local kids smashing his light fixture.
He showed the tape to their parents after the boys were picked up for vandalism. They not only paid for several mail boxes and light fixtures, they payed for the camera too. Their options were limited... Pay all expenses or their little darlings would be prosecuted. According to my brother, there's been no vandalism in the neighborhood since. Apparently, the little monsters didn't realize that the house they were targeting was the home of a cop... Stupid is as stupid does.
