Geeze Dave. That's awful. How many is that?
When we were having all the problems with the druggies about 8-10 years ago, I put up lots of trail cams (they were 35 mm then), and I put in a four-camera 7-day VCR system. I also put in a security system that would call me if any of the sensors went off. They were for motion, glass breakage, smoke/fire, sound, and sorts and windows. It would tell me what kind of sensor went off, and then I could listen to microphones in the house.
There are much better systems today, especially if you have electricity. The cameras are wireless and have good battery life. They can be monitored via the Internet. The recorders use a computer, or computer hard drive, and will record for days. Such a system may also reduce your insurance.
