If you're looking at capturing images the police will be able to use to
counter the vandalism you're experiencing, you won't get anything worthwhile
for the $1000.00 budget you're on (unless they're cameras you've picked up
at auction somewhere).  You're going to need to determine your priorities
(i.e. how much you'll save with a proper camera system versus how much
you'll spend on repairs).
