so wat i started doing is installed flourescent twisty bulbs with photocell premounted in my porch and driveway exterior lamps and use that as my lighting. it actually works pretty well with the network camera. the image is on the grainy side but i can still see who it is and wat's happening in the middle of the night if needed from my droid. the camera is mounted inside the window.

during the day the image is no problem.

i have it setup so it sends me email with attachment of the pict when motion is detected. i can see in real time too from my droid using a IP camera app i bought.

there's better ones out there with night vision if you check amazon. just search network camera.
