It seems to me like you could make a plexiglass box to put the camera in
and mount it to the outside of your house and run power to it through a
window.
Just an idea.
My posts don't seem to get through lately. Would someone please just
comment if you see this?

Someone tried to break into our house last week so I have been
researching this and other security stuff recently. There are many
options.
There are several brands of camera that have a built-in computer and web
server. This would be a simple unit that each homeowner could get
independently, but it could be managed centrally via the Internet. To
keep it simple I suggest that everyone get the same unit.
I'm currently experimenting with the Panasonic BL-C1A. It costs $85. It
is small (about 5x5x2 inches square with the lens on the 5x5 side) and
not ugly (color is white). It does not look like a security camera. It
has a very clever bracket that makes it easy to mount and aim.
The BL-C1A plugs into power and an Ethernet jack (the BL-C20A uses WiFi).
The camera is managed entirely via Web browser so it can be managed
remotely.
