DIY security camera–help?

I would like to build a cheap DIY security camera. there has been an increase in crime (vehicle break-ins, etc.) in the past few weeks in my neighborhood. I want build a security camera system to keep watch over my truck at night. I would like it to have the following features:
—motion detection or manual start (motion detection would be the ideal case but manual start seems to be alot simpler and cheaper)
—long record time (bare minimum of 5 hours)
—good quality in low light setting
—store on to a usb flashdrive or sd card (mainly just want to store and/or watch the videos if necessary)
—relatively small if possible

the cheaper and simpler the better. I dont necessarily have a budget but would like to keep it halfway cheap. any tips, comments, videos, links would be greatly appreciated! thanks to all!
Hey guys thanks a lot for your input! it is greatly appreciated! i think i am going to go the webcam route. but the location i will be putting the camera will be about 100 or so yards from my computer. i looked into wireless transmitter/recievers but the good sets were pretty expensive. i also looked into wireless webcams but idk if they will reach that distance? maybe with a patch antenna of some sort? and is there any possible way to interface the webcam to store its videos to a usb flash drive or sd card? thanks again guys i really appreciate it!

Please recommend a security system?

We are a small business looking to invest in a security camera system. I’ve searched packages but Im not techy enough to know exactly what I am reading. We currently have an old camera – VHS recording but our employees can’t seem to remember to turn on the tape!

Here’s what we’re looking for:

At least 4 cameras with audio
Record to DVR or be able to watch remotely
Scheduled or motion activated
Includes DVR
Includes monitor if necessary (if it need a special screen for 4-way split or anything)
Night vision would be nice, but not a deal breaker if we have everything else
Less than 0

Can anyone please recommend a system? THANK YOU!

non-encrypted e-mail servers?

I have a security camera system that can send me email alerts if motion is detected within the cameras view. The problem is it has to send it via a "non-encrypted e-mail server". Does anyone know where I can sign up for a non-encrypted e-mail service? Thank you.

Security Camera?

How can i tell if the security camera system i want to buy has a clear picture or not over the internet?

I dont want one of those blurry ones where you cant make out the image when you are looking at it, i want something clear but not to costly.

If anyone has anything they would like to recommend i am looking for a day and night vision available motion activated camera system with good image quality for a reasonable price.
