I want a new cctv camera and have been looking at this Swann camera.

Should be better than my current cheap Aldi £24.99 camera which is supposed to see at night but as soon as it is dark you can't see Jack S***.
Maplin sell a lot of good cctv kit.
OP: Would you get reflection from the window since you are putting your camera in your bedroom?
It doesn't matter if it can detect motion if you are going to use your pc.
The benefit of using your pc is that you can mask out areas you do not want to be detected such as trees/bushes that move in the wind and cause false triggers.
Also it will only record if something moves in the camera's path, loads of good software out there.
If no one comes to your door then nothing is recorded, the software will tell you how many alerts you have had and record them.
A cheap pc will do the job.
If you go motorised you can control the camera/s from your pc.
With a pc you can control your camera/s from another pc over the internet so if you are away from home you can still look thru your camera/s.
You can also set up email alerts and mobile phone alerts. If you go on holiday you can read your email thru gmail in case you get an intruder email.
