Yes a CCTV camera system will work great I suggest you get one that you can connect and view your cameras over the internet. This way you can catch them in the act and the images will be stored and will work as great evidence for the police or for a lawsuit.
I already mentioned steaming and DVR on an early post so will just copy and paste my previous answer.
The determining factor of how fast your cameras will stream over the internet is the file size of the DVR. File size is crucial to streaming because most DVR’s on the market record at real time performance (30FPS per channel) so on a 4CH is trying to send 120, 8CH 240, and a 16CH 480 images per second which requires way to much bandwidth even for the most extreme internet connections.
The smaller the files size the more images that are able to be sent and the faster they can be processed improving both FPS and speed. File size is the heart of any DVR and goes far beyond just its streaming capabilities as it also determines the recoding storage time, how much you can back up at once, how fast it renders and searches video.
The file size of a DVR impacts the performance of the DVR in just about every aspect from speed to longevity and is often the most import spec of any DVR.
Not all DVR are created equal In fact, there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of DVR’s you can find the equivalent of a $10,000 Kia and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels and windshield but that where the similarities end, it’s under the hood that counts. Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for.
If you are buying a DVR and streaming is a high priority I suggest get them to do a demo and connect to the DVR to make sure it is able to stream fast enough for your needs. Most DVR say they have Remote Viewing but it is often to slow and laggy to be of use. Some good DVR brands that I recommend are Bosch, Pelco, Honeywell and Ascendent.

I have done projects that required cameras to stream over satellite and cellular networks and the only DVR that could provide the video streaming was Ascendent Technology Group’s X3 DVR. To give you an example of what a good DVR should stream like bellow are instructions on how to connect to Ascendent X3 DVR using internet explorer.
Two good economical DVRs I would recommend are Ascendent’s AVP-4120 DVR or Pelco’s DX-4000. They will allow you to view all your cameras instantly from anywhere in the world using either IE, or a client software. The AVP-4120 uses the latest H.264 codec to improve streaming and recording time, and will allow PCs and Apple computers to remotely view cameras. These are the DVRs I would recommend that are good quality and affordable. They don’t stream as fast a High end PC based DVR but they are a great bang for the buck.
This makes a great demo as it is up 24/7 and camera 1 is a PTZ camera which allows you to Pan Tilt and Zoom real time over the internet using the controls located to the right.
Instructions on how to connect to Ascendent’s PC based X3 DVR with internet explorer
1)http://connect.ascendentgroup.com/ (Must be Internet explorer)
IP address: 24.66.224.223
2) Install active X control
3) Hit “Connect)
4) DVR type PC
5) DVR code SITE-100
6) User ID Demo (case sensitive)
7) Password demo (lower case)
9) And hit connect
