I'd like to find out who is knocking at our front door and legging it. It could be the local kids but we get on well with them and we're friends with their parents so it's unlikely. It's beginning to upset my O/H so I feel I need to tackle it.

We have a spy hole in the front door, is there a mini-camera with a motion sensor that will fit in it and either store images or transmit them to my phone or do both?

I don't want to advertise there's a camera there so no bell required, just a camera. It'll have to be battery powered (maybe rechargeable?) as there's no available power supply. Any ideas?

Have you not got a window that can see the front door?

There's no window with a view of the door and I don't want a bell/cam to give the game away. I want a battery powered spy hole camera with wi-fi - someone must make one.

How is it "giving the game away"? They might see the doorbell and stop harrassing you, solving the problem. If not you have a clear face shot.

I have a suspicion that it may not be kids but a local woman who has mental health issues. If so, I know what she looks like.

It may not now be needed. There was a knock on the door last night just as O/H was passing so she quickly whipped it open (it's a distinctive knock) to find the woman I mentioned above standing there; the mystery ends.

Nothing relevant to my search here for a camera.
