I've created a guide on fitting a dual DVR system in the ford focus see link: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/65147-guide-fitting-dual-camera-dvr-system-focus-mk2-mk25/

I see now you ment home CCTV,

Have a look on eBay there are some good systems with Sony cameras,

You could have an electrician fit a PIR sensor in your garden or driveway to trigger recording.

Have a look at this for an entry level CCTV camera:

I have that and it basically works out of the box, comes with a unique internet address so you can check on your home / car from anywhere with internet access. It can also record to a network hard drive or something similar but I haven't tried that, and can record when it detects movement. It proved very useful when I was away for 2 weeks around Christmas, I kept checking it each morning to make sure nobody had broken into my flat lol.

It all depends on budget..

We've just got a new system which can be accessed wirelessly anywhere in the world..(which I believe is fairly standard for a lot of commercial CCTV)

But it's probably a bit much for a home system...

Maplins does some cameras which will record into a 'box' (NVR) which is about the same size as a DVD player... And you can review that... That would be potentially better than the likes of a go pro which I believe has some limited recording time...

As I said, it boils down to budget which will reflect on image quality also...
