DIY CCTV Questions, Zero Budget

Just received that cheapo camera, and there is *nothing* wrong with it, quality is amazing for a few quid! I'm shocked to be fair! :D Even with the curtains shut in low light its a little grain but he LED's do far more than I thought hey ever would! This is absolutely perfect. Just waiting on the rest of he stuff now :)
 
Just uploaded one clip to youtube, quite hard capturing it because I have no means of plugging he camera into my laptop, so it's just running plugged into the TV and my phone is propped precariously recording the TV, so you do get some TV flicker, and it's hard to really show the "quality" but it's really not bad for £7!

You can easily make someone out in the light I think, with all the lights off (apart from TV light (which is provided by the camera remember!) it does a much better job at showing "something" that I thought I'd ever get! Anyway this is perfect for what I need and here is a quick video (uploading now from my phone will edit soon) showing lights on/off me from about 6'-8' away a little on the manual focus etc...

It does get mighty hot whilst in use though!


//Edit: Turns out that 2 min video was huge, still going...
