Best CCTV setup for viewing car from 2nd floor flat? Hidden/bird box ideas?

Hi all,

Looking for some advice/recommendations for CCTV please.

I live in a 2nd floor flat and own a garage opposite the flats at the rear where my car is parked. Unfortunately my car was vandalised recently, so I’m looking for a camera setup that would be clear enough at that distance to properly identify faces and ideally registration plates.

I can either film through the flat window or potentially from the balcony. Ideally I’d like the camera hidden/disguised in something like a bird box or similar so it’s not obvious.

Has anyone done something similar or got recommendations for cameras that actually work well at distance and in low light? Also interested in any advice around filming through glass, zoom, glare reduction, or hidden mounts.

Thank you
