It would be far simpler to just hook up a VHS recorder and a T-180 tape. That's
9 hours plus of video. BASF even has a T-200, which works out to more than 10
hours. Continuous recording would be easier than trying to rig up some sort of
motion-detection activated switch. For a camera, take a look at the small black
and white BSR model they sell. It's equipped with a series of infrared lamps to
illuminate even a dark area, providing images under limited lighting
conditions. -RW
