My neighborhood has multiple people that drive through each day, just to steal packages from people's doorsteps.

Sometimes they get photos of the thieves from their security systems, but they NEVER get plate numbers. This could be an awesome solution.

That is the scalable solution, but I get by just fine with a trail cam pointed at my driveway. It takes 5 minutes a month to scroll through manually and check that most cars are me, my wife, or family, and then check any others.

recommended camera? and is it better to have an IR illuminator integral to the camera, or should it be separate?
