Surveillance Cameras

did a quick search with no dice, so I figured I'd ask here.
I've got some pesky (read: moron) neighbors. Between the passing out on the front lawn, and the two baseball bat marks in my rear quarter panel, We've decided to install surveillance cameras around our house. Does anyone here have any experience or reccomendations on products? Wireless seems like a security hazard, and easy to tamper with, but wiring is a pain... We don't want them to "stick out" too badly.... We have a 100 ft driveway that leads the the back of our house/side entry garage, and about 30 feet between the house and street, and only one "door" on the back of the house. 3 or 4 cams would probably take care of it...

I use an Axis 207MW camera, which is a wireless network camera, that I can view from anywhere over the internet. It has amazing resolution (1280x1024) compared to the cheaper alternatives. They are not cheap, I think I paid ~$400 for it but well worth it in my opinion.

You might also investigate the infrared cameras designed for hunters. Motion-activated. Waterproof and camo, too. Hang them in a tree, then review the photos later. Look at this site for some examples.
