1.   Inexpensive cameras, in general, do not perform well at night.
You may need to go with infrared illumination.  Catching the guys face
on camera and identifying him might be difficult.

2.  Storage - The more disk space you have, the better.   If you are
recording 24/7 you will have hours (and hours) of nothing to see.   If
you go with motion detection, you will save some on all that wasted
space, but at the price of increased complexity.  Does your recorder
put in a time/date stamp?

For example, how do you set the threshold of motion to detect if
something critical is happening?  Remember... you will have different
lighting conditions throughout the day/night/variable weather.
Multiple cameras compound this challenge.

What is the guy doing specifically?  Can you install a sensor (for
example) if he is breaking into a shed and stealing your property?  Is
he messing with your vehicles?  An alarm trip that turns on the video
recorder might be more feasible for you...

3.  How about audio?  If the guy is caught in the act and becomes
threatening.  It might be a good idea to record the audio portion of
the incident.  Again, you might have issues of extra complexity -
weatherproof microphones, etc.
