I've been thinking about getting a camera put up for the garden over the past week or so, aswell as swapping the front yard camera for a wireless one, so have been looking on DealExtreme at their various offerings and came across these three...

http://www.dx.com/p/349768 - Back garden camera (Sricam)
http://www.dx.com/p/385593 or http://www.dx.com/p/385526 - Front yard cameras
The present front yard camera is an amazingly good quality camera for the price (and country of origin!!), but, it's a pain in the bum having it wired and having to have a separate router acting as a wireless bridge and adding a lot of traffic to the wifi network, when I could split the system into two separate networks, one network camera-only (with the NVR connected) and the main network just for internetting...
But anyway, them's the cameras I'm thinking of, the yard cam options I'm unsure of, as the white one has a bigger array of IR LEDs, but lacks a decent sun visor, but the black one has a smaller array of IR LEDs but a better sun visor, especially considering the camera is facing south-westish so receives a lot of sun during the day, don't know what the winter sun will be like being lower in the sky though as I've not had my present camera that long...
The Sricam for the back though should be fine, north-facing wall, the only sun it'd get is late evening and early morning in the summer months, but I mainly want that camera for watching the garden wildlife (and my shed if I decide to move it out there), my only real concern is that mount, those things look flimsy as heck...
, its a shame you don't have a spare unit, you could use the lens without ir-cut filter for viewing the mice at night that will no doubt be looking for a meal under the bird table.
