Just picked one of these today at Harbor Freight:
	http://tinyurl.com/hf-cheap-ir-cam (for a DIY home/kid security system)

For just $30, it came with the 80ft of modular (snap RJ9 I think) and 
everything! And this thing ain't wimpy either! The unit is comprised of a 
SOLID weatherized aluminum housing.. has a day/dusk linear CDS (light) sensor 
that only turns up the IR when needed, has an audio mic, etc.  Although it's 
zero-lux range is a bit weak (not enough IR makes for a noisy/low-contrast, 
washed out picture).. but nothing that can't be solved with one of these:
