best video camera for recording football

Adam
We have been robbed 3 times in the past year by the same people. I'm done playing games and I'm ready to invest some money into whatever I need to catch these thieves. My situation is rather difficult to explain but it will do my best to help convey what problems I'm running into.
*I live on a farm but the area that I'm worried about covers 2 about aces. A football field across.
-The house, a pool house in the backyard, two conjoined butler buildings off to the right from the house, and another butler building off to the right of the conjoined buildings.
*The main areas we want to cover is are the 3 building doors (outside) and and a 4th outdoor camera to overlook the house/pool-house.
*The house is a smaller 2 story house and could put a wireless receiver at the upper floor but unsure about how far the signal would get to before being faded or disrupted by the metal roofing of the butler buildings.
*I do have a home network dlink router in the upper floor away from the building, but the signal will not reach even close to where I need it to be. So I have thought about 2 wireless signals disrupting it. So i will need an option for 2.4g or 5 ghz signals.
*We have running electric in all buildings but cant have wires running from the buildings to the house. for obvious reasons.
*I can't have wires laying outside to my house. yet a wireless signal will have to be able to cover the distance and still get enough signal for fluid video camera footage inside my home.
*I need outdoor, nightvision, motion detection cameras with enough storage to keep enough video on it for 4 cameras.
If someone could provide some professional or personal insight on this I would be very grateful. I never had to worry about this before but now I think that I need to have it. Thank you for reading this and I very much like links to surveillance system bundles. :D
Answer
You do have a very unique situation. One of the best solutions we have is our line of D-Link security cameras. They are wireless, outdoor ready, offer motion detection, night vision, and with the D-Link NVR you can customize how much space you want with options starting at 1 TB and going up to 6 TB. With the motion detection mode on you will get around 30 days worth of recording on 1 TB.
The best part about D-Link is that it is the easiest systems that we have seen to install. Many people that don't have computer expertise have been able to install the wireless cameras and start recording within 5 minutes. This is due to D-Link's easy to use setup wizard.
D-Link NVR (supports up to 9 D-Link cameras)

Entry Level IR/Wireless D-Link IP Cube Camera:

Pan, Tilt, Zoom D-Link IP Camera that will allow you to remotely control the view zone

Wireless Booster Transmitter: (this will help you carry your wireless signal up to 2 miles)
http://www.apexcctv.com/p-1450-compact-outdoor-24ghz-wireless-transmitter-receiver.aspx
(will need 2 of these one for the transmitter and the other for the receiver)
A single IP camera can cover as much as up to 4 analog cameras so you don't have to have as many cameras.
Since your property is so big it may be better to have some PTZ cameras so that you can remotely turn the camera to view more of an area or you will have to have a few more static cameras to capture more of the area.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to send me a message.
Which camcorder is good for filming soccer games?
ninjastyle
I want to film my brothers soccer games and training so I wanted to buy a camcorder.
My budget is pretty low so nothing fancy.
My friend is selling Samsung HMX-F80BP, and I want to know can this one record soccer/football games. I would use tripod and just go left right left right with occasional zooming.
I also thought about Canon vixia m30 or r30 but those are a bit over budget so I probably will reconsider them in a few months.

HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras interpolate the video, which means of every 25 frames of video, 4 or 5 frames are taken by the lens assembly; the other frames in between these are filled in by the camcorder inner circuitry, thus giving you not true video. It looks like this -one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, one frame from the lens assembly, 7or 8 from the electronic circuitry, from front to back of the video. Near impossible to edit, even when you have the Multi port processor computer with the big 1GB Graphics card and a Sound card that is required to edit, view, watch and work with the files these camcorders produce.
Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording Consumer Level HD Camcorder and DSLR Cameras, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes – four different times advertised as maximum record time for some Consumer Level HD Camcorders and DSLR Cameras. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders and DSLR Cameras or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition. And add the fact that to get a HD camcorder that could produce better video quality footage, one would have to spend in excess of $3500 for that camcorder that could produce higher quality video
